Why does the moon move slowly across the sky?

You wait, still you wait, and you wonder why

Stone cold familiar, braced in your mind

Vexed memories from the past

With all of your sorrow and all of your pain

You ask, “Is there a God?”

Exit of life, ending of strife

Take my hand on the path to the spirit world

Torment ingrained, blackened and stained

Nightmare at the devil’s door

The devil’s door!

As the walls are closing in, and the ruse starts to die

With the fools lies and tales of might

Attempts to atone, the wicked deeds of yore

Now reduced to a life of scorn

Stalled at the crossroads when all have passed you by

And left to walk the walk of shame

Exit your life, ending your strife

Take my hand on the path to the spirit world

Ever distained, villainy attained

Arriving at the foot of the devil’s door

The devil’s door!

For what I’ve believed and held as my own

Has come my fall and my demise

Anger and fear, bitterness as well

Led me through my own private hell

[Guitar Solo – SS/KR]

When the sun sets slowly, and the wolves start to cry

And the moon shines its ray of light

You fall on your sword and accept your destined fate

Confessions of a life of hate

Regret, remorse and humility, result of dishonesty

A waste of a life once more

End of your life, ruined by strife

Take my hand on the path to the spirit world

The promise of pain, eternity in flames

Forever laid to rest at the devil’s door

The devil’s door!
