lyrics

--- Verse 1 ---
Jester to the left seems to take with both hands,
White man never looked so weak as he fires off in bands,
Bands of quick wit and banter pierce like daggers to the soul,
As he tears out your heart to sit upon the hot coal...

--- Chorus ---
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)

--- Verse 2 ---
Voice on your right shoulder says now come son take my hand,
It's the jesters grinning whisper only likes to lead the damned,
Cut you down to size drag you down to hell,
Gonna be down so deep no living soul can hear you yell...

--- Chorus ---
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)

--- Verse 3 ---
Room is filled with fat cats also prone to heart attacks,
As the knife bites lips and leather slowly cuts then gently smacks,
Joker grins through gritted teeth says now look boy I have won,
Now the devil he's my father and me his undead son
-
The woman at the pearly gate she greeted me with joy,
"Thought you left it too damn late,thought you'd took the devils ploy"
Well I fought him off with tooth and nail and I bit him on his ear
Then she tore away the mask and said the devils son is here

--- Chorus --- (x2)
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)
