Lyrics

Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that rising up from under the floor?
I know. I can hear that demon roar
But I don't care, I ain't gonna hear it no more

I don't care, I paid my dues last year
Have no fear, now it's time that I clear out of here
Just let you know before I go

Are you devil or death?
You'll have to bow, ain't no power on earth can stop me now
I have done all things that make it right
To keep me out of the devil's bite

Heaven sent me down a sign
Things were bad but now I'm doin' fine
So you better step back cross that line
Now I can't see you but for one last time
I can see you marked my life like a scar
So you are
But it don't take a star to go far
I'll let you on, before I'm gone

I knew someday you'd be along
Swingin' your tail and singin' a dead man's song
Just when things get good you want your take
But you're wrong, 'cause I'm leaving this shell
And I'm movin' on
