lyrics
If I were to fashion from the branch of a tree
a weapon that God never gave to me
would it mean that I had turned from the path
laid out for me?
Everything is wasted, everything is poor,
that’s what God would give to me,
ravaged by fire, burnt by war.
This is a gift, suddenly I see.
Suddenly I believe.
Once burned, once forgotten,
forgive and forget,
what is this you speak of?
Filthy pure – I’ll suppress!
I find it hard to believe in Him,
I find it hard to find the words,
I’ll let this fire do the talking,
watch its blood red churn,
cos I’m the spawn of the demon.
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool and He’s coming for you, ah…
Falling for the Devil, a gift, an ill, a curse.
He’ll make you want it all then deny to quench your thirst.
I can’t remember he’s a demon; I can’t remember love or worse.
He’s fond of deliverance – of evil, twisted birth –
but don’t worry, darling, he has not forgotten you.
You’ll love how he makes you feel his hurt, yeah!
Once burned, once forgotten,
forgive and forget,
what is this you speak of?
Filthy pure – I’ll suppress!
I find it hard to believe in Him,
I find it hard to find the words,
I’ll let this fire do the talking,
watch its blood red churn,
cos I’m the spawn of the demon.
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool and He’s coming for you, ah…
And in this wasteland
you’ll see it in the dirt and sand.
You’ll feel His presence.
You’ll feel sustenance form at your lips.
Then you’ll be His…
you’ll be a Devil’s Tool.
Once burned, once forgotten,
forgive and forget,
what is this you speak of?
Filthy pure – I’ll suppress!
I find it hard to believe in Him,
I find it hard to find the words,
I’ll let this fire do the talking,
watch its blood red churn,
cos I’m the spawn of the demon.
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool.
I am the Devil’s Tool-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh!
I am the Devil’s Tool…
cos He’s coming for you.
