Lyrics

She was seventeen
When he cast his spell
She fell in his arms
And awoke in hell...

Ensnared in his web
She was powerless to fly
He used her body
And destroyed her mind

Her eyes cried out
When hope was lost
He’d preyed on her soul
Like a spider on a moth

But his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!

Revenge is seldom sweet
For one as pure as she
She near went mad
When the man walked free

The town turned their backs
They’d no care for her plight
Friend turned to foe as
The truth bred lies

They shunned her her folly
But lauded him with praise
Showered him in riches
And burried her in shame

But his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!

Her thirst for justice
Froze her to the core
She waved God’s word
For she’d heard it all before

She closed her eyes
For she knew in time
The man would pay
For his heinous crime

But not on earth
By the laws of men
Punishment is gravest
When it meets you at the end

For his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!
