The Devil is an Englishman - Steve Hackett

A poet walks amongst the Gods

But jealous men have pulled me down

Now exiled in a foreign land

I coax my demons into life

While people cross themselves and say

The Devil is an Englishman

Beelzebub in human form

I mingle with the noblemen

Young girls fall pleading at my feet

As I defile them one by one

Devouring half of London Town

The Devil is an Englishman

A nest of tiny scorpions

Are breeding in my cranium

Poet Laureate of hell

The Devil is an Englishman

And yet a hundred years from now

As leeches suck upon the flesh

Of those who step beyond the grave

This dark demented soul lives on

The Devil is an Englishman
