Twas in the year of our Lord 1855

The snow lay thick far and wide

Over rooftops through the fields

Did Satan leave his mark?

Something evil passed thy way


Twas a creature of the dark

Send him back from whence

he came

There rose up the hew and cry

Protect thy self from fear and pain
Interlude 1

The Devils footprint comes again
