Will the devil come?

Don't laugh at them.
They mean serious business!
When the heart stops to love
and the mind stops to think,
When your hands are careless
and your feet are cold;

will the devil come to take away your soul?

When the eyes see wrong
and the ears hear strife,
When the nose smells fishy
and the lips are dry of warmth;

will the devil come to take away your soul?

when you are old
and your senses wane
 the devil will come to take away your soul.

Not 'cause you're old
but, 'cause you're cold;
Have warmth in your heart
then, be fearless to the last.

Wake up oh!man
and live up to others;
for the gates are not far away
There, the devil will wait to take your soul away.
