Let My People Go - Diamanda Galas

The devil has designed my death

And is waiting to be sure

Plenty of his black sheep died

Before he finds a cure

Oh Lord Jesus

Do you think I served my time?

The eight legs of the devil now

Are crawling up my spine

The firm hand

Of the devil now

Is rocking me to sleep

I force my blind eyes open Lord

But I’m sinking in the deep

Oh Lord Jesus

Do you think I served my time?

The eight legs of the devil now

Are crawling up my spine

I go to sleep each evening now

Dreaming of the grave

I see the friends I used to know

Crawling up my leg

Oh Lord Jesus

Do you think I served my time?

The eight legs of the devil now

Are crawling up my spine

Oh Lord Jesus

Do you think I served my time?

The eight legs of the devil now

Are crawling up my spine

Oh Lord Jesus

Here’s the news from the new from the fires below

The eight legs of the devil will not

Let my people go
