lyrics

The 13th child
Born of the Leeds
Cursed by mother’s cry to her diety

Cloven hooves and bat like wings
You soar on through the night
You Jersey Devil,
I hear you scream, kill what you need

In woods you wander
Through the pines you fly
Screeching the Devil’s laughter to the sky

Cloven hooves and bat like wings
You soar on through the night
You Jersey Devil,
I hear you scream, killing what you need

Child of the devil, you scream your rage
You never asked to be born, and you don’t want to be saved
You just scream into the night
You beat your wings and you stamp your hooves
You eat the neighbor’s dog because you’re up to no good
And you’ll take those chickens too

Fly free my Devil Prince
And terrorize the night
The Pines are yours, my demon
Let loose your cries of fright

You’ve stalked the campers
You’ve stalked the beasts
We’ve seen you run across our paved streets
In search of prey to scare

You’ve shredded metal with your wicked claws
You’ve bitten through the skulls of four big hogs
Because what’s ours is yours to have

Fly free my Devil Prince
And terrorize the night
The Pines are yours, my demon
Let loose your cries of fright
