[Verse 1]
He holds the door
Says my name like a prayer
Tips his hat
Like he ever could care
Sharp teeth
Hidden under that grin
Slick tongue
Blessing every new sin
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s kind to my face
Burns the rest of this place
Gold ring on his hand
But the shine’s all fake
[Chorus]
The devil has spoken about this story
Sweet voice, dirty glory (oh)
Nice to me, but cruel to the crowd
Smiles so soft, but he laughs so loud
He’s a saint in a tailored suit
Dragging blood on his polished shoes
The devil has spoken, I know his tune
He’s kind to me
But he’ll bury you
[Verse 2]
He shakes my hand
Calls me “brother”, “my friend”
Swears oaths
He’s ready to bend
Says “I respect you”
Eyes never blink
But watch who he tramples
When you even think
[Pre-Chorus]
He buys me a drink
Lets the whole world sink
He’ll toast to my name
While he spits on theirs
[Chorus]
The devil has spoken about this story
Sweet voice, dirty glory (hey)
Nice to me, but cruel to the crowd
Smiles so soft, but he laughs so loud
He’s a saint in a tailored suit
Dragging blood on his polished shoes
The devil has spoken, I know his tune
He’s kind to me
But he’ll bury you
[Bridge]
Who you blessing
Who you breaking
Two-faced halo
Always shaking
If I’m special
Why the flames behind you
If you love me
Why’s the floor all stained
[Chorus]
The devil has spoken about this story
Sweet voice, dirty glory
Nice to me, but he’s not a good man
Builds up trust just to ruin your plans
He’s a saint in a tailored suit
Dragging blood on his polished shoes
The devil has spoken, I know what’s true
He’s kind to me
But he’s killing you
