The Haunting Presence - Giles Corey

Giles Corey, bloody and gory

We will redress your wrongs

Bloody and battered, nothing matters

Somehow, just makes it worse

And I don’t care if I live or die

Because I ain’t ever going to no other side

There ain’t no heaven and there ain’t no hell

But I am a sinner so it’s all just as well

There’s a devil on my back

There’s a devil on my legs

There’s a devil on my chest

There’s a devil on my neck

And of a wicked physick came

All the heavy stones

To fall with crushing weight upon

All of those who can’t become a ghost

I’ve been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well

I’ve been pacing like a man in a prison cell

I am buried above the ground

And no-one knows anything

(there's a devil on my chest)
