Lyrics for In the Devil's Territory

Be still and know your sign The beast will arrive in time We stayed a long, long time We stayed a long, long time To see you To beat you To see you At last I saw the dragons drying I saw the witches whine We stayed a long, long time But I'm not afraid to die To see you To meet you To see you At last I stole my father's shoes I pulled his pockets too We stayed a long, long time We stayed a long, long time To see you To beat you To see you To meet you To see you At last
