INSTIGATOR FABRICATOR
PERPETRATOR HUMAN HATER
The devil is on the prowl now
He’s trying to start a row now (repeat)
he’s got predatory intent
And a false accent
You’ve got to build up your fence
You’re keeping out discontent
AGITATOR DESECRATOR
SEPARATOR MANIPULATOR
The devil is on the prowl now
He’s trying to start a row now (repeat)
He’s got predatory intent
And a false accent
You’ve got to build up your fence
You’re keeping out discontent
He’s roaming the streets
With sharpened teeth
Roaring like thunder
Looking to plunder
Whom he may devour
And he’s searching for pray
All night and day
Trying to take a bite
Hurting me with words that spite
That is hurting me inside
The devil is on the prowl now
He’s trying to start a row now (repeat)
I see him searching for pray
Both night and day
Trying to take a bite
With the words that spite
You’re an instigator, fabricator
Perpetrator, human hater
Agitator, desecrator, separator,
Manipulating ooooh ooooh
Let go of the good Gods’ people
The devil is on the prowl now
He’s trying to start a row now (repeat)
