We feed the pit men We bury our children We stand at your cauldrons Till we are raw and bleeding Up to the fortress Strike up the chorus The future adores us And the past is fading The ring's under her pillow She's climbing out the window To join her sisters on the run Let's take the devil down Let's shake the devil down We'll throw the devil down Daughters of the sun Here's what you're reaping Once veiled and sleeping Now she is creeping With the blood moon rising Destiny spoken When the road is open Hearts have awoken And the world's enticing
She'll break your fine illusions Make war and confusion Join her sisters on the run Let's take the devil down Let's shake the devil down We'll throw the devil down Daughters of the sun Now guns are waking Armies are shaking We're theirs for the taking For divide and conquer She'll man the stations Keep your vocations Break with elation Only wild and stronger The ring's under her pillow She's climbing out the window To join her comrades on the run Let's take the devil down Let's shake the devil down We'll take the devil down Daughters of the sun
