The Devil & I

By Blood Saga

The devil came to my door today,
And he said: "It's freezing up here."
No one else would help him,
Not even when he begged.
So IĀ gave the devil a cup of tea,
And then sent him on his way.

He sat beside me unnoticed in church this Sunday.
Oh the devil and I, we did pray-pray-pray,
For world peace, minor miracles,
And other hopeless dreams.
For warm cups of tea, good company,
And other human things.
