Devil's Drum
The tetrahedron is complete
The Red Devil starts his beat
His drums of death and doom
Another life to consume
He rages on without a care
Leaving victims everywhere
And what drives this heartless one
Who never stops until he's done
No one knows, but all care
We all live in deadly fear
Of the Red Devil on the run
He puts an end to all fun
So before you set him free
Take this advice from me
I have fought him many years
He brings almost all to tears
Yes, you can fight and win
But before you rush in
It's not an easy task
To wear that fire mask
Kicking in the door
Searching every floor
Listening for a shout
Or a peep to help you out
To find those lost inside
You have no other guide
Than a wall you crawl along
And a hose you hope is long
Face to face with this foe
All Hell's Fury he can throw
And he'll beguile you with such light
You may forget to even fight
He's a trickster that's his thing
But don't listen to him sing
Destruction his only song
And he sings it loud and long
If you'll take advice from me
When you see him you will flee
Turn around and run away
You may live another day
