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
