Raven House Poets

The Black Robe

A living beauty walked upon this earth
From the very moment of her birth
Came the most beautiful girl named Saffron-Lyn
She attracted the eyes of everyone

Even the Devil himself, he stole a glance
He pictured her in his Gothic romance
So he came up from fiery depths of hell
Took a bath, cleaned himself up, applied some hair gel

CHORUS:
Set's his clock, kneels and prays
The Devil starts on Monday
There's billions of people knocking him down
It's gonna be a long day

Saffron-Lyn took a look at the Dark Prince
You could smell the sulphur in the silence
She said to the devil, "If you really want my love
Go ask forgiveness from God above"

So the Devil called on the pearly gates
And God told the Devil you'll have to wait
Until you approached everyone you've wronged
And they forgive all your actions, then you belong with her

CHORUS

Now that the Devil has been forgiven
He reaches to the hand she's giving
Oh they bought a house on 5 mile
Got a job at Walmart - greet and smile

CHORUS:
Everyday the shoppers come
He greets them, smiles, asks where they're from
He wears his hat to cover his horns
It's another long day

He steers his cart with a mortal's map
Past rows and rows of endless crap
For Saffron-Lyn he'll do anything
He can

Set's his clock, kneels and prays
The Devil starts on Monday
There's billions of people knocking him down
It's gonna be a long day
