Run Devil Run

Run devil run toward the rising of the sun

Run devil run away from me

When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town

And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay

Some say they’ve seen her working, most just hear in the dead of night

It’s a howling in the wind they say, like it’s calling for a fight

She don’t come just when you call her but she’ll be there when there’s need

‘Cause she’s there to hunt the devil down, yea she wants to see him bleed

And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun

Run devil run away from me

When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town

And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay

Call her prophet, call her priestess, call her witch or patron saint

But we know Jesus ain’t around no more and there’s people needing saved

Don’t think God’s got any part of it, no holy books or ancient tongues

There’s bottle of fire in her hand, and there’s fire in her lungs

And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun

Run devil run away from me

When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town

And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay

Don’t know if it’s a gift she has, don’t know if it’s a curse

Wonder if she’s chased the devil down since he’s come into the world

You’ll wonder if you were just dreaming, if you heard some unholy brawl

But you’ll feel a presence in your bones when she comes to make her call

We keep monsters in our storybooks, we hang heroes on our walls

But of the folklore and the fables, she’s the tallest tale of all

And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun

Run devil run away from me

When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town

She said run, run, run

Run devil run
