The Vision Bleak
The Grand Devilry
He is the wolf
That haunts the night
And the full moon's
Blasphemous light
He is the apple
That brought us sin
And he is evil on the murderer's grin
If you fear, it is the devil
The old comrade of the dark
And if you hide, you will fail to see
The grand devilry
So if you hate, it is his stage
He plays the wicked and the wretched
And if you hide, you will fail to see
The grand devilry
He is the poison
In our heart
The flaming words
In each poet's art
He is the weapon
That leads through war
And he's the light of the morning star
If you fear, it is the devil
The old comrade of the dark
And if you hide, you will fail to see
The grand devilry
So if you hate, it is his stage
He plays the wicked and the wretched
And if you hide, you will fail to see
The grand devilry
