Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baghdad dust on a midnight road
A hard-eyed son with a heart of stone
No reason left in the words he throws
A cruel hand turns where the cold wind blows
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that name, you feel the ground shake
A little more than a man can take
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Verse 2]
He wears his anger like a second skin
Calls every ruin a way to win
The old streets know what his shadow brings
A bitter crown and a kingdom of sting
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that name, you feel the ground shake
A little more than a man can take
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Bridge]
Even the wild dogs turn from his door
Even the devil asks what he came here for
But every dark road runs out someday
And every cruel hand must answer one day
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Outro]
Where does it end?
Devil of Baghdad
Baghdad dust on a midnight road
A hard-eyed son with a heart of stone
No reason left in the words he throws
A cruel hand turns where the cold wind blows
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that name, you feel the ground shake
A little more than a man can take
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Verse 2]
He wears his anger like a second skin
Calls every ruin a way to win
The old streets know what his shadow brings
A bitter crown and a kingdom of sting
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that name, you feel the ground shake
A little more than a man can take
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Bridge]
Even the wild dogs turn from his door
Even the devil asks what he came here for
But every dark road runs out someday
And every cruel hand must answer one day
[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, answer the night
Devil of Baghdad, born out of spite
No mercy, no reason, no soul to defend
Devil of Baghdad, where does it end?
[Outro]
Where does it end?
Devil of Baghdad
Style of Music
Dark electric blues with a gritty slow shuffle, overdriven slide guitar answering a gravelly male lead, smoky harmonica accents, deep upright-style bass and restrained brushed snare. Build from sparse, tense verses into a blunt, chantable English hook with backing shouts; keep the arrangement raw, close-miked, and dynamically forceful, with a short guitar turnaround between sections.
