Lyrics: A Devil Deserves to Cry

The following article contains the lyrics to "A Devil Deserves to Cry", a song by alternative metal band Triple Seven. It is the third track off their third full-length studio album Lilith's Epiphany.

Lyrics
There's nothing I can do for the commandments

Unable to rewind the injuries

With your collapsed Christian brain restless

I can't do anything to block out the unholy warmth

But one afternoon, things ain't gonna wane

My fingertips have gotten muddier again

As I see the bloodstains on your jacket

You kept screaming, "Woe is us, oh, woe is us!"

An ordeal skips about under the stars

What is this? 'Tis the infernal guffaw of a devil!

It couldn't be anything else

This wasn't just a chilling elegy

It was a mocking threnody!

Because I've vowed to recapture our purple urns

I'm making my way into the depths of a cesspit

A dreadful iconoclast within the devil unhidden

Sacrilegious whoreson, I am no hellcat!

I am not a virago nor hellcat!

Give me back our glorious dusk!
