When I was a child a story was told
about the devil and a girl so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
and lover's abound

But she lifted her soul, she lifted her soul
all clean, oh clean
And like the story was told
on a dark country road
the same man appeared to me

But I reached
I reached
through the rain to the devil's feet

Now 20 years later to the place I return
Where I scourned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound

So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe

That i reached
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet

That i reached
i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
