[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Welcome to our sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematise all those who oppose us
[Chorus]
Don't summon the Devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, the conjuring
Obey!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Behold, the flames rise from the compass' cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil, and with the ashes you'll anoint
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Arrange the symbols of the wizard and magician
Light the candles, place the parchment paper in position
Between its leaves place the lash from a black cat's eye
A straw of a broom, fold, and burn, and centralize
[Chorus]
Don't summon the Devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, then conjure me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I am the Devil's advocate
A salesman if you will
You know my name, you know my name
[Verse 5]
I met your father years ago
I gave him what he'd please
He called my name, and you'll do the same
[Verse 6]
I'm claiming what is mine by right
It's time to close the deal
You're bought and sold, bought and sold
[Verse 7]
Come join me in my infernal depths
Mephisto's hall of fame
I've got your soul, I've got your soul
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
