Run devil run toward the rising of the sun Run devil run away from me When you hear me coming 'round You best get out of this town And if you don't, there'll be hell to pay Some say they've seen her working Most just hear in the dead of night It's a howling in the wind they say Like it's calling for a fight She don't come just when you call her But she'll be there when there's need 'Cause she's there to hunt the devil down Yea she wants to see him bleed And she says run devil run Toward the rising of the sun Run devil run away from me When you hear me coming 'round you Best get out of this town And if you don't, there'll be hell to pay Call her prophet, call her priestess Call her witch or patron saint But we know Jesus ain't around no more And there's people needing saved Don't think God's got any part of it No holy books or ancient tongues There's bottle of fire in her hand And there's fire in her lungs And she says run devil run Toward the rising of the sun Run devil run away from me When you hear me coming 'round you Best get out of this town And if you don't, there'll be hell to pay Don't know if it's a gift she has Don't know if it's a curse Wonder if she's chased the devil down Since he's come into the world You'll wonder if you were just dreaming If you heard some unholy brawl But you'll feel a presence in your bones When she comes to make her call We keep monsters in our storybooks We hang heroes on our walls But of the folklore and the fables She's the tallest tale of all And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun Run devil run away from me When you hear me coming 'round you Best get out of this town She said run, run, run Run devil run
