## Lyrics

[SAMUEL:]

For my mother, my sister, and for you, Jordan

Sing with me, child, as the day grows long

And stardust fills your eyes

Sing with me, child, of the love never lost

Your mother’s lullaby

This language it’s speaking, some terrible tongue

In this creature’s cries

I’ll crack its cant and peel its prose

I'll know what it says in time

I shall not rest to see this creature up close

its skin, its marks, its...

[SAMUEL:] *(spoken)*

Has someone been whipping this creature? Seriously, has someone been lashing this thing? These look like whip marks.

[SAMUEL:]

Sing with me, child, as the day grows long

And stardust fills your eyes

Sing with me, child, of the love never lost

Your mother’s lullaby

Back along a bit

I was a child exorcist

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

I drove out the Devil for the glory of the Lord

Witness for the glory of the Lord

At ten years old they’d come around

From miles around to see me driving out

The Devil for the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

My mother was afflicted, how the demons, they would come

Every few months and they would take over her mind

I’d say, “Get out you devil!” all night long and she would cry

And I’d bring her back again into the light

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

The demons kept returning to my mother, I must tell

I was left to raise my sister by myself

Pastor Ken, he warned me that the females of my blood

Were marked and plagued by Satan there himself

“Get out, you Devil,” to my mama oh I cried

A witness for the glory of the Lord

On stage, the crowds adored me but night after night I sat

With my sister while my mama wept some more

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

Adolescence changes us from the children who we were

I started seeing different aspects of the world

Mental illness was the struggle that mother had, and well

All the screaming, prancing I had done was not a help

She took her life one day

Never once aware

Of any type of treatment

Nedication, doctor’s care

I quit the church

Went to school and studied there

Neuroscience, embarked upon

A well-acclaimed career

But at career’s cusp, my sister she fell ill

Same affliction as our mother and I used all my skill

To diagnose, to find a cure for what she had

But in the end what my skill revealed, that in fact she was not mad

It was a demon that did plague my sister’s mind

Just like the pastor said, it hunted down my female line

So back to church and on to seminary too

A different set of skills to learn to see the long fight through

[CHORUS]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

Get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

Get back, Devil, yeah

Get back down

[CHORUS:]

Get down, Devil, won’t you get down and out?

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil, won’t you get back down?

[SAMUEL:]

Get back, Devil, get back down

[CHORUS:]

Get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

Get back to the glory of the Lord

[CHORUS:]

Get down, Devil

[SAMUEL:]

Get back, Devil

[CHORUS:]

Won’t you get back down?

[SAMUEL:]

Get back down

[CHORUS:]

Just get back to the glory of the Lord

[SAMUEL:]

Get back to the glory of the Lord

[CHORUS:]

Get back, Devil

[SAMUEL:]

get down, Devil

[CHORUS:]

Won’t you get back down?

[SAMUEL:]

Get back down

[SAMUEL, CHORUS:]

Get back to the glory of the Lord

The Holy Sacred Order Of The Bleeding Rose

[SAMUEL:]

I joined

Which hunts these horrors

All across the land

They taught me of the veil

Rhat leads beyond the world

And the abbey

And the dusk on which it stands

When my sister took her life

Nothing else was left

For me in the world anymore

I offered to come over

To help the Abbey run

This place of no return

who breaks all who come
