Lyrics
You'd never ask for the devil's hand, that dance is never free
You should avoid making deals with evil or engaging in activities that come with a high cost.
You'd never stroll through his garden or swim in his numbing sea
Avoid exploring dangerous or harmful situations associated with the devil.
A taste of his stabbing horns, his sharp tail he'll use to breech
Experiencing the harmful aspects of the devil, such as deceitful tactics represented by stabbing horns and a sharp tail.
The evil that's his mind and soul, the warnings you refuse to heed
Refusing to acknowledge the warnings about the evil nature of the devil's mind and soul.
