The Devil's Feet Lyrics
When I was a child a story was told
about the devil and a girl so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
and lover's abound
But she lifted her soul, she lifted her soul
all clean, oh clean
And like the story was told
on a dark country road
the same man appeared to me
But I reached
I reached
through the rain to the devil's feet
Now 20 years later to the place I return
Where I scourned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe
That i reached
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
That i reached
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
about the devil and a girl so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
and lover's abound
all clean, oh clean
And like the story was told
on a dark country road
the same man appeared to me
I reached
through the rain to the devil's feet
Where I scourned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet

i can't believe no one's written anything about this song yet!! It's so beautiful and sad and chilling.... just think if your soul was doomed because of a stupid mistake you make when you were young and foolish... her voice carries out the emotion wonderfuly.
Very nice instrumentals.
This song is beautifully written. Orenda Fink is a genius.
I think the song explains itself, but should be given the credit it deserves.
