News: Isabel Documents: Devils & Gods

A recent entry on Isabel’s blog discusses the evolution of “Devils and Gods”, including the lyrics to the expanded version of the song, as it is being performed on tour:

Songs have different timelines concerning when they show themselves in a completed form. On the album version of “Devils and Gods” on ADP, the song seemed to be complete at the time of recording. Things began to change when rehearsals commenced. The drummer, Matt Chamberlin, began developing a primal rhythm, which created a space for the song to develop. Just to put any lyric confusion to rest the correct lyrics are printed below. Feel free to pass these along in order to correct misinterpretations.

Devils and Gods

Devils and Gods now that’s an idea
But if we believe that it’s They who decide
That’s the ultimate detractor of crimes
‘cause Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
Safe and Inside

Rebels as Gods
So Are they out there?
one would surmise that this must be the case
Some are not ok
with what’s taken place
long ago
A covenant made
On earth long ago a covenant made that
One could not rule
but all would partake

Devils can hide inside an idea
Placed there by Gods for you to think like this
If I were dead would he love me then?
That then begins a secret death wish
That then begins your secret death wish
You’ll gain his love
but too cold to kiss

Oh don’t let this lady lay
Don’t make this lady lie
No don’t let this lady lay
Don’t make this lady lie

Devils and Gods now that’s an idea
But if we believe that it’s They who decide
That’s the ultimate detractor of crimes
‘cause Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
Safe and Inside
