The devil laughed and said I’ve won

God has lost his only son
      G                 D/F#     Em
The brightest star no longer shines
   C           D/F#     Em
Finally this world is mine

Then he gathered all his demons near

He said we have conquered love with fear

Mercy abounds

We’ll attack them from inside
  G                     D/F#  Em
Fill their hearts with vanity
            C              Bm      A
Til their differences are all they’ll see
 D                 C       Em
Black and white, rich and poor
     C           Bm   E
To justify their holy war

To see her precious son pay the cost

But it’s almost over now
