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
