[Verse 1]
There he was that little man, sitting by the altar, black devil
Carved in stone so dark and cold, black devil
Help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on

[Verse 2]
It was the early morning of the seventh day
I had been making love to Angel in every single way
The sun was peeking through a window high above
That's when I saw her kiss the little devil on his head

[Chorus]
Black devil, if you could only speak
Black devil, what do you see when you're looking at me?

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Verse 3]
There he was, that little man, fingers spread like claws, black devil
I wonder what it is he knows, black devil
Help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on

[Chorus]
Black devil, if you could only speak
Black devil, what do you see when you're looking at me?
[Bridge]
When I look around, this church on holy ground
There are things within that should have never been
Why two pulpits in a place like this?
One facing to the East, the other to the West
One of the gilded canopies have gargoyles in the sun
And on the other canopy, I see demons having fun

[Chorus]
Black devil, if you could only speak
Black devil, what do you see when you're looking at me?

[Guitar Solo: Glen Drover]

[Outro]
Black devil always near, why don't you want me here?
I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know
Black devil, what is going on?
