The devil has designed my death
 
 And is waiting to be sure
 
 Plenty of his black sheep died
 
 Before he finds a cure
 
  
  Oh Lord Jesus
 
 Do you think I served my time?
 
 The eight legs of the devil now
 
 Are crawling up my spine
  
 
 The firm hand
 
 Of the devil now
 
 Is rocking me to sleep
 
 I force my blind eyes open Lord
 
 But I'm sinking in the day*
  
 
 Oh Lord Jesus
 
 Do you think I served my time?
 
 The eight legs of the devil now
 
 Are crawling up my spine
  
 
 I go to sleep each evening now
 
 Dreaming of the grave
 
 I see the friends I used to know
 
 Crawling up my leg
  
 
 Oh Lord Jesus
 
 Do you think I served my time?
 
 The eight legs of the devil now
 
 Are crawling up my spine
  
 
 Oh Lord Jesus 
 
 Do you think I served my time?
 
 The eight legs of the devil now
 
 Are crawling up my spine
  
 
 Oh Lord Jesus
 
 Here's the news from the new from the fires below
 
 The eight legs of the devil will not
 
 Let my people go
