To Hell With The Devil
Stryper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's no friend of mine
To turn from him is what we have in mind
Just a liar and a thief
The word tells us so
We like to let him know
Where he can go
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
When things are going wrong
You know who to blame
He will always live
Up to his name
He's never been the answer
There's a better way
We are here to rock out
And to say
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
