Capo 1

C Am
G D/F# Em
Em C
Released from reason, alive with pain
Am Em
The actors change, the play is the same
Em C
As he and his ministers converse, I peaked out from behind the well
Am Em
And oh how I surprised to learn, the devil's not the king of hell
Chorus:
Em
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
C Am
A violent dance of slippery stones, the line's gone dead we're all alone
G D/F# Em
The devil is not the king of hell
Em C
Smellin' victory, the engine hums
Am Em
Of in the distance, they beat the drums
Em C
Amidst the blood and rubble I look for souvenirs to sell
Am Em
And oh how I surprised to learn, the devil's not the king of hell
Chorus
Em
Oh black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain
C Am
Black was the list, black was the list, black was the list, with our names
Em
Oh black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain
C Am
Black was the list, black was the list, black was the list, with our names
Chorus
Em C
Tonight I'm gonna do some things, that I've never done before
Am Em
I'm gonna find out what the screamin's about on the other side of that door
Em C
So don't you bother callin' there ain't nobody home
Am Em
Sometimes we got to stand together, sometimes alone
Em
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
C Am
A violent dance of slippery stones, the line's gone dead we're all alone
Em
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
C Am
A violent dance of slippery stones, The line's gone dead
Em
The line's gone dead, the lines gone dead
C Am
The line's gone dead, the line's gone dead
G D/F# Em
The devil is not the king of hell
