Leather Demon
Midnight sky, parting clouds
The moon is bursting through
You sit and wait by the cemetery
Waiting for your cue
You strike a match, light a cigarette
You inhale the night
That’s what it takes to light the fire
In your eyes
Demon child
Waiting to be summoned
An offering, a sacrifice
A demon clad in leather
A rocker, ritualized
Beware to call his name
He won’t be exorcized
That’s what it takes to put the spark
In your eyes
They call you leather demon
Oh lord knows that it’s true
You will never go to heaven
I stand by you
They call you leather demon
Oh lord knows that it’s true
Straight from hell
I sanctify you
Born from a sea of flames
Ablaze like falling stars
You’re waiting for your call
A sermon or seance
It is your fate
The ritual’s the gate
Your vice
That’s what it takes to light the fire
In your eyes
They call you leather demon
Oh lord knows that it’s true
You will never go to heaven
I stand by you
They call you leather demon
Oh lord knows that it’s true
Straight from hell
I sanctify you
