Lyrics

The Devil’s Cathedral

I am the stand-in for Mr K

A blade of grass was in my way

I studied his moves, followed his form

Easy as breathing, it became the norm

I am the stand-in for Mr K

I never needed him anyway

I waited in the wings, with all his precious things

I took his life and then his wife

Stand in…

Stand in…

An understudy cast in song

A Shakespeare villain all along

Moon in Scorpio, here and gone

If life's an opera, bring it on…

Bring it on…
