Leather Demon Lyrics


Midnight sky, parting clouds

The moon is bursting through

We sit and wait by the cemetery

Waiting for your cue

You strike a match, light a cigarette

You inhale the night

That's what it takes to light the fire

In your eyes

Demon child

Waiting to be summoned

An offering, a sacrifice

A demon clad in leather

A rocker, ritualized

Beware to call his name

He won't be exorcised

That's what it takes to put the spark

In your eyes

They call you Leather Demon

Oh, Lord knows that it's true

You will never go to Heaven

I stand by you

They call you Leather Demon

Oh, Lord knows that it's true

Straight from Hell

I sanctify you

Born from a sea of flames

Ablaze like falling stars

You're waiting for your call

A sermon or seance

It is your fate

The ritual's the gate, your vice

That's what it takes to light the fire

In your eyes

They call you Leather Demon

Oh, Lord knows that it's true

You will never go to Heaven

I stand by you

They call you Leather Demon

Oh, Lord knows that it's true

Straight from Hell

I sanctify you
