Lyrics

U.S.L.S. 1

The moon shines bright in the desert night The other side of a clear sunlight The other side of a character Comes out to play before the day The devil follows out his plans And makes his work for idle hands Neatly packaged bird has flown The devil takes care of his own Clouds now greeting this aeroplane Tearing across the empty sky A bomb implant in the luggage hold The devil takes care of his own
