Now the spell has been cast The curse has left its mark And we await the judgerment to be passed While we look upon each other The sinner and the saint The final curtain falls upon our kind
It's too late to pray For the victims left outside the gates of Hell What fate awaits them now no-one can tell
Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter from it Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter
As we reach the final chapter And turn another page Do we see the writing on the wall? Is it better to have witnessed this Or never seen at all What lies behind the shadow of the night? You've seen the sign You're forever on the run from your last rights You live in fear of The Unexpected Guest
Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter from it Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter
Deliver us – we don't want to go down there Deliver us – we don't want to go down there
Now the spell has been cast The curse has left its mark And we await the judgement to be passed While we look upon each other The sinner and the saint The final curtain falls upon our kind.
It's too late to pray For the victims left outside the gates of Hell What fate awaits them now no-one can tell
Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter from it Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter Deliver us from evil, gimme shelter
