AmI was granted an audience in the devils maze,
CI sat by his throne and we talked for days,
FHe told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels,
CHe told me loneliness was the torture most painful,
AHe said if I filled my lifetime with sin,
EmI could earn myself a seat that was right by him,
GAnd if I didn't, that was fine by him,
DCos everyday a million souls just fly right in,
AmHe could barely keep up with the souls of all the people,
CIt's not easy being sole controller of all evil,
FHe said “Too many people want to burn with me,
CI swear free wills a bitch and so's eternity,
ASo what you learn from me might save you from suffering,
EmYou don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing,
GTake a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell,
DAnd time's of no consequence when you're in hell.”
AI had a lot a questions;
EmI asked the devil to explain
CWhy I always think that people have it in for me?
FAnd why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me?
GThis is what he said, 
C“The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide,
FCos they're so saddened by humans using genocide,
CAs a political tool, considering all you humans have,
FThe way you act belittles you all,
CNow hell is so full that we started expanding,
ADamnation is a business and the markets demanding.”
EmI asked him if the city streets buckled and cracked,
GAnd hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse?
DHe smiled; I knew that smile was his response,
AmI thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants,
CHe said “I'll tell you my one desire,
FThat's for earth itself to become my empire,
CEvery politicians like a gun for hire.
AEven the church of nativity's come under fire,
EmSo you can tell I'm getting close to my goal,
GOf creating a world where I can torture every soul.”
DSitting with the devil, this is what I learned,
AApart from the ways a human soul can be burned,
EmIt's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,
GTo make those same mistakes again and again,
DSitting with the devil, this is what I learned,
AApart from the ways a human soul can be burned,
EmIt's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,
GTo make those same mistakes
Dagain and again,
again and again,
Aagain and again,
again and again.
EmAnd Time keeps, time keeps slipping away,
ALike I keep, I keep slipping away,
EmMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away,
ALike I keep, I keep slipping away,
GMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away,
DLike I keep, I keep slipping away,
EmMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away,
ALike I keep, Like I keep -
GI keep slipping away, I keep slipping Daway...

Chords in this song · guitar

I was granted an audience in the devils maze,

I sat by his throne and we talked for days,

He told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels,

He told me loneliness was the torture most painful,

He said if I filled my lifetime with sin,

I could earn myself a seat that was right by him,

And if I didn't, that was fine by him,

Cos everyday a million souls just fly right in,

He could barely keep up with the souls of all the people,

It's not easy being sole controller of all evil,

He said “Too many people want to burn with me,

I swear free wills a bitch and so's eternity,

So what you learn from me might save you from suffering,

You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing,

Take a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell,

And time's of no consequence when you're in hell.”

I had a lot a questions;

I asked the devil to explain

Why I always think that people have it in for me?

And why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me?

This is what he said,

“The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide,

Cos they're so saddened by humans using genocide,

As a political tool, considering all you humans have,

The way you act belittles you all,

Now hell is so full that we started expanding,

Damnation is a business and the markets demanding.”

I asked him if the city streets buckled and cracked,

And hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse?

He smiled; I knew that smile was his response,

I thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants,

He said “I'll tell you my one desire,

That's for earth itself to become my empire,

Every politicians like a gun for hire.

Even the church of nativity's come under fire,

So you can tell I'm getting close to my goal,

Of creating a world where I can torture every soul.”

Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,

It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

To make those same mistakes again and again,

Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,

It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

To make those same mistakes

again and again,

again and again.

And Time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

Like I keep, Like I keep -

G D

I keep slipping away, I keep slipping away...
