Morning Star

you laid in wait for the devil
he's coming to take his due
flesh and bones and soul, he'll take you
and you'll be dust in the bowels of hell

so look out brother!
so look out sister!
devil's a-coming to claim his due
so look out mother!
so look out father!
the devil's a-coming for you
so look out!

young and old,
forgotten joys and sins
taste the apple, babe!
sweet as love but half as painful
tempted yet?

come into my garden
sample its weary fruit
come into my garden, lover
and wait for the devil

he's coming, he's coming,
falling like a star
weary angel
taste of my apple, darling
set a trap for the devil
