The Devil’s Hand Songtext
von Pentatones

The devil′s hand is reaching for my mind
The devil's hand is twisting my desire
We liked the longing space in between
The devil′s hand is seducing me
And I feed on hunger and nurture thrill
I feel so desperately drawn to kill
A fictive matter that makes you beg
The devil's hand is upon my neck

And I can't, I cannot, I can′t let go
I can′t, I can't deny what I avoid to do
Help me, help me before I do
Please help me before it all gets loose


Is it the art of emptiness?
I dreamed of vomiting memories
Over, overcome
Coming letters out of my mouth
All you′ve been saying
My mind is portraying
A powerful source overcome
All that I can't love
I can′t take control of
I never give sense to myself

The devil's hand is reaching for my mind
The devil′s hand is twisting my desire
He gave me from the golden rhyme
I am the devil's concubine
And I came to hear you scream and scream
To yell at me and feed the animal
Three doubles infinity
The devil's hand is seducing me

And I can′t, I cannot, I can′t let go
I can't, I can′t deny what I avoid to do
Help me, help me before I do
Please help me before it all gets loose

Is it the art of emptiness?
I dreamed of vomiting memories
Over, overcome

Come, we will see
All you've been saying
My mind is portraying
A powerful source overcome


All that I can′t love
I can't take control of
I never give sense to myself

All that I can′t love
I can't take control of
I never give sense to myself

Oh, when to see and
Oh, when to be seen
When I travel the world to be far

Drawn on a paper blank
Flipping it, spilling out all the ink
Oh, holding up high, holding on
Sowing by yourself and then overcome
Oh, it's a third hand, third eye, third mouth
Pushing in, pulling the needle out
I′m travelling far, travelling on

Cover it up and never overcome
Oh, keep your body and ears and the names and signs
Whose creed is bursting out of all the violent scenes
Oh, the pleasure is mine, pleasure is mine
Feels like when the devil′s concubine
And when I cut, cut your hair
The sword's my one and necessary merchant
It would be mine and you′d be falling apart

All you've been saying
My mind is portraying
A powerful source overcome
All that I can′t love
I can't take control of
I never give sense to myself
All that I can′t love
I can't take control of
I never give sense to myself

Oh, when to see and
Oh, when to be seen
When I travel the world to be far

All you've been saying
My mind is portraying
A powerful source overcome
