Old devil time, I'm goin' to fool you now! Old devil time, you'd like to bring me down! When I'm feeling low, my lovers gather 'round And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil fear, you with your icy hands, Old devil fear, you'd like to freeze me cold! When I'm sore afraid, my lovers gather 'round And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil pain, you often pinned me down, You thought I'd cry, and beg you for the end But at that very time, my lovers gather 'round And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil hate, I knew you long ago, Then I found out the poison in your breath. Now when we hear your lies, my lovers gather 'round And help me rise to fight you one more time!
No storm nor fire can ever beat us down, No wind that blows but carries us further on. And you who fear, oh lovers, gather 'round And we can rise and sing it one more time!
