Seven Devils Lyrics

Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I've come to burn your kingdom down

Holy water cannot help you now
See I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find new saints to be canonized
And it's an evensong
It's a litany
It's a battle cry
It's a symphony

Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done

Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done

You can't keep it out
It's coming through the walls
To devastate your heart
And to take take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the eagle's eye
In the evensong

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

What is the Meaning of Seven Devils?

Seven devils could be interpreted as seven deadly sins, which means in this case that he did everything wrong while being with her. All he did is like floating around them, in their house, because of what it caused. She seems convinced that she doesn't want to be around him any more and that nothing is going to bring peace back and that all she wants is revenge.
