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 girl, and when he's there you are alone

every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
in the black soul choir

every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongue
the black soul choir

oh, he rises in my way
oh, he rises in 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 and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
in the black soul choir

every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongue
the black soul choir

oh, he rises in my way
oh, he rises in 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 and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
in the black soul choir

every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
unashamed with the wicked tongue
the black soul choir

oh, he rises in my way
oh, he rises in my way
