Saxon - The Devil's Footprint lyrics

Twas in the year of our Lord 1855 The snow lay thick far and wide Over rooftops through the fields Did Satan leave his mark? Something evil pa**ed thy way Twas a creature of the dark Send him back from whence he came There rose up the hew and cry Protect thy self from fear and pain The Devils footprint comes again All was still no sound was heard The snow was crisp and white Something walked across the land Until the morning light Over rooftops through the fields What made this cloven path No one knew what beast it was That left this ghostly track Lock your doors and shutters tight There's demons riding out tonight Sent from hell to test your faith Pray to God to keep you safe From the Devils footprints From the Devils footprints In the morn' the hoof prints clear Over valley town and weir Twas no human made this mark Something evil in the dark Gather sword and shot they cry k** the beast and send it nigh Back to hell from whence it came Never tread this path again Lock your doors and shutters tight There's demons riding out tonight Sent from hell to test your faith Pray to God to keep you safe From the Devils footprints From the Devils footprints See the Devil riding out tonight Over rooftops till the morning light Bring your sword and send him back to hell Cast him forth to where the demons dwell They searched till dusk found not a thing No one knows what night will bring Could it be the hounds from hell Satan's work? No one can tell Listen careful in the night Keep the children out of sight Save their souls repent thy sin The beast will come when night begins Lock your doors and shutters tight Demons riding out tonight Sent from hell to test your faith Pray to God to keep you safe Lock your doors and shutters tight Demons riding out tonight Sent from hell to test your faith Pray to God to keep you safe From the Devils footprints From the Devils footprints
