I wrote this track after seeing a show that adapted bluegrass music to poems about death. I was so intrigued by the show that I decided to write my own story in the same vein. This song describes a man on his death bed who sold his soul to the devil and can feel the devil coming for him.
lyrics
I can hear the siren’s moan,
Feel it deep within my soul,
I felt them call,
They’re calling me home,
The Devil’s eyes well they roam,
And he’s set them right on my soul,
I felt him come,
He’s coming close,
Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
Sin oh I have sinned,
In this body I’ve been livin’ in,
It damned my soul,
Damned my soul,
Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
The money, fame, and things I’ve gained doesn’t justify the price I’ve paid,
The closer I get to my grave the farther my soul gets from being saved,
H Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
Here he comes, comes, comes, comes, comes,
Comes, comes, he comes, the devil comes,
The devil comes,
The devil comes,
The devil comes,
Comes,
Comes
The devil comes.
