Me And The Devil

Lyrics
(Gil Scott Heron - "The Vulture") Standing in the ruins of another black man's life Or flying through the valley seperating day and night "I am DEATH," cried the vulture "For the people of the light." Charon brought his raft from the sea that sails on souls, and saw the scavenger departing, taking warm hearts to the cold He knew the ghetto was a haven for the meanest creature ever known In a wilderness of heartbreak, and a desert of despair, evil's clarion of justice shrieks a cry of naked terror, taking babies from their mamas, and leaving grief beyond compare... So if you see the Vulture coming, flying circles in your mind, Remember, there is no escaping, for he will follow; Close behind Only promise me a battle - A battle for your soul, and mine... And mine." (reversed voices) Y'all've summoned us Early this mornin' When you knocked upon my door Early this mornin' When you knocked upon my door And I said... "Hello Satan ! I.. I believe, it is time to go." Me and the Devil Walking side by side Me and the Devil Walking side by side
