Artist: The Nightwatchman Song: The King of Hell Album: The Fabled City Capo 1 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
