Em
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
