I heard a sermon in the canyon wind
A silver tongue drippin' rattlesnake sin
Preacher cried holy, but the choir was lies
Black smoke rising under blood—red skies
He blessed the bullet, he anointed the blade
Turned wine into ashes, made saints from the grave
His words cut deeper than a hangman's noose
Every psalm he preached was the Devil turned loose
Lingua diaboli, speakin' through the flame
Whispers in the desert, callin' out my name
Promise me salvation, but the fire don't set me free
I'm cursed to ride forever with the lingua diaboli
Now I feel the serpent curlin' in my chest
Every prayer I utter leaves the Lord unimpressed
The Devil don't bargain — he just writes it down
In the language of fire, in the tongue of the damned
Lingua diaboli, speakin' through the flame
Whispers in the desert, callin' out my name
Promise me salvation, but the fire don't set me free
I'm cursed to ride forever with the lingua diaboli
Ignis aeternus, Pater peccati
(Eternal fire, Father of sin)
Et verbum factum est—tenebrae in me
(And the word was made—darkness in me.)
Lingua diaboli, speakin' through the flame
Whispers in the desert, callin' out my name
Promise me salvation, but the fire don't set me free
I'm cursed to ride forever with the lingua diaboli
