Gil Scott-Heron - Me & the Devil lyrics

[Intro: Game of Thrones (Tywin Lannister)] You're blessed with abilities that few men posses, your blessed to belong to the most powerful...and your still blessed with youth. What have you done with these blessings? [A.Nunn] "Stay Close", That's what she uttered to me "I'm your salvation, open up and let me in" "Leave your frustration, I'm your ticket out of here" "Don't worry 'bout the allegory of whatever Jesus said" "Cause he was a fool, I could've saved him" "As my own son, i would've raised him" "Third temptation, tried to give him the whole world" "Never-mind the fine print, that's lies from the old world" I kissed her on the cheek Told her, "That was not a contract, so why'd you choose me?" She said i was a beast, but live like a leper My mind was a feast, my body even better It sounded real nice She know I'm up for sale Negotiating a price while my conscience set sail Looked into her almond-shaped eyes, saw hell With a plunging neck-line blue dress, do tell No pitchfork, no horns, hooves, or tail I heard her say "Walk with me I watched you at Nativity Praying to a god I'm certain that wasn't listening Look at how he left you, sleeping in your car, bathing inside a restroom Sitting in the park, debating about your next move Tears in the dark the only things to caress you Was that your deal with the 'Father'? He pushed you to edge so you can feel like a martyr? Unconditional Love on the condition you follow?" But how (do) i know you're better? Your treachery is legendary, birds of a feather This game is a tug-of-war on something you shouldn't meddle This soul is a black hole, its something you shouldn't enter Something you couldn't exit That fire in your eyes is something that never left it A'Great Temptress' you starting to sound desperate I operate in the realm of imagination and legend Something you shouldn't question We'll see though I'll meet you both at Megiddo/ [Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron] Early this morning When you knockedupon my door (2x) And I say Hello Satan I believe its time to go Me and the Devil Walking side by side (2x)
