The Devil Cried

Black Sabbath · Black Sabbath: The Dio Years [2007]

One fine day in Hell

The master told a story

Someone lied so well

He sent him back to Glory



There are whispers between the screams

That this deed can be done

Even sinners must dream

And I can be the one to make the Devil cry



I can win this game

If all things come together

I know this sounds quite strange

I won't be smart, just clever



It's the law on the other side

Just the kill lets you run

And how many have tried?

I know I'll be the one to make the Devil cry



At last my time has come

I must not give him pleasure

I can be the one

One chance or burn forever



So I told him about my pain

And the life I've been through

He just smiled and the laughter came

Then I told him that I love you, and the Devil cried



Tears from his eyes

Eyes of fire

And the Devil cried
