Devil of Baghdad

[Verse 1]
From the dust where the old walls crack
A ruthless shadow comes marching back
No mercy left in the words he throws
A cruel heart colder than the winter blows

[Pre-Chorus]
No reason, no law, no line he won't cross
He takes what he wants and he counts no cost

[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, born to bring the fire
Devil of Baghdad, climbing ever higher
No heart, no soul, no hand to understand
The devil of Baghdad rules this ruined land

[Verse 2]
A mother's warning, a father's shame
He wears his anger like a crown of flame
The streets fall silent when he draws near
Even the fearless are swallowed by fear

[Pre-Chorus]
No reason, no law, no line he won't cross
He takes what he wants and he counts no cost

[Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, born to bring the fire
Devil of Baghdad, climbing ever higher
No heart, no soul, no hand to understand
The devil of Baghdad rules this ruined land

[Bridge]
Call him a monster, call him damned
He leaves destruction where he stands
But every tyrant meets the day
The people rise and break his reign

[Final Chorus]
Devil of Baghdad, born to bring the fire
Devil of Baghdad, watch the walls fall higher
No heart, no soul, no hand to understand
The devil of Baghdad will not command

[Outro]
The devil of Baghdad
Will not command
