The Devil's Feet Lyrics

When I was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl oh so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
But she lifted her soul
She lifted her soul clean oh clean
And like the story was told
On a dark country road
The same man appeared to me
But I reached

I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
Now twenty years later to the place I return
Where I scorned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth I try not to believe
That I reached I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
