[originally by 16 Horsepower]
No man ever seen the face of his foe, no
He ain't made of flesh and bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you
And when he's there you are alone
Every man is evil, yes
Every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
Singing in the black soul choir...
Oh, he rises my way
Oh, he rises my way
No man ever seen the face of my Lord, no
Not since he left his skin
He's the one you keep cold on the outside girl
He's at your door, let him in
Every man is evil, yes
Every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
Singing in the black soul choir...
Oh, he rises my way
Oh, he rises my way
I will forgive your wrongs, I am Abel
For my own I feel great shame
I will offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I was Cain
Every man is evil, yes
Every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
Singing in the black soul choir...
Oh, he rises my way
Oh, he rises my way
