Carach Angren - In De Naam Van De Duivel lyrics

Once upon a time, back when the Devil had a temper For he was repulsed by love for as long as he could remember He knew of a bond, that flamed fiercer than fire Husband and wife he ached to see burned at the pyre So he summoned a witch before his black throne Demanded their bond corrupted by this wise crone The smirking old Witch was instantly sold, By his promise of rewards both in flesh and gold In de naam van de duivel And so the witch set forth on her insidious quest Stalking the house of the blessed, Kisses at sunrise leaving for work; A sign for the witch to approach the house with that same evil smirk "I came to warn you immediately Of misfortune and adultery In my dark prophetic dreams I saw you" She opened the door for the devil's who*e Who was disguised as an old lady, kind and wise In de naam van de duivel "Your husband shall leave you forever Do as I say, and you will stay together While your love is asleep, cut off a lock of his hair Bring it to me and I'll cast a spell to prevent your despair" And so the witch twists her tongue, reversing the tale She told her husband before to be on his guard: "During night when the owls are still and the moon looks pale Your wife will stab you with a knife in the heart!" Those twisted words, poisonous like a snake He could not believe, but still they kept him awake So he lies there awake, in the dark of the night When a flicker of steel catches his sight! Overwhelmed by pure rage and disbelief He tears the knife from her hand and slits her throat in his grief In de naam van de duivel In de naam van de duivel At ease on his throne and pleased with his who*e For hell is free of love once more In de naam van de duivel For hell is free of love once
