You are listening to a song from my demo tape "Cave Canem Demos" that I recorded years before I was signed to Projekt records and released my first real album, "The Devil's Bris" in 1998, I hope you enjoy hearing the songs in their earliest forms!

Lyrics:

When the Devil is too busy

And Death's a bit too much

They call on me by name you see,

For my special touch.

To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune

To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize

But call me by any name

Any way it's all the same

I'm the fly in your soup

I'm the pebble in your shoe

I'm the pea beneath your bed

I'm a bump on every head

I'm the peel on which you slip

I'm a pin in every hip

I'm the thorn in your side

Makes you wriggle and writhe

And it's so easy when you're evil

This is the life, you see

The Devil tips his hat to me

I do it all because I'm evil

And I do it all for free

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

While there's children to make sad

While there's candy to be had

While there's pockets left to pick

While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs

I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner

It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it

'Cause there's one born every minute

And it's so easy when you're evil

This is the life, you see

The Devil tips his hat to me

I do it all because I'm evil

And I do it all for free

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark

And I promise on my damned soul

To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub

Has never seen a soldier quite like me

Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake

I'm the shadows on the wall

I'm the monsters they become

I'm the nightmare in your skull

I'm a dagger in your back

An extra turn on the rack

I'm the quivering of your heart

A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil

This is the life, you see

The Devil tips his hat to me

I do it all because I'm evil

And I do it all for free

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

And I do it all for free

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

And I do it all for free

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

It gets so lonely being evil

What I'd do to see a smile

Even for a little while

And no one loves you when you're evil

I'm lying though my teeth!

Your tears are all the company I need

God, that takes me back. Not that I don't like Voltaire's later stuff, but this is why I love him.

Yeah. (nodding) Tom Lehrer meets Stephen Brust with a hint of the late great Zappa. (bows) Most Ecellent, Sir. you have earned yourself a new fan and the distinction of being 1 of the few 'newer' artists i actually like. i'll be around. i think this was a good 1st choice for an inaugural listen.with my degenerative nerve disease getting worse by the day, i need good distraction and you certainly fit the bill.

The intro was awesome, man. Three thumbs up.Oh, wait. Two hands.*Hold on a second.* *(screams are heard in the background as I chop my mother's thumbs off. I come back, smiling impishly)* Here ya go! Four thumbs up! Wait...shit, I said three. Oh, well. *(I shrug, tossing the severed thumbs to you)*

WOW, an alpha version of this song is much more different than I expected! The instruments are slightly different, Voltaire's voice is different, but what's most important yet very surprising - the mood and atmosphere of this song. The croon of violin is a little annoying, but creates the feeling of menace, something, what's about to happen and makes you think, that this version of Evil is truly wicked on it's mind. The version from "Devil's Bris" album is much more literal in performance and direct in message of singer being pure manifestation of Evil, sophisticated and marvellously cruel. "Cave Canem" version, in other hand, makes you uncomfortable and while "Devil's Bris" is focusing on making you cry of fear, "Cave Canem" rather leaves you confused, shaky and slightly changed inside, like the Evil really did lurk into your brain. But violin, as I said, is only a little annoying and Voltaire's voice unnecessarily fuzzy, when "Devil's bris" one performs very good, instrumental and mature piece of creepy music. It is hard to decide, which version of song is better. This eerie mood maker or "Devil's Bris" child of Voltaire's mature style.

I'm ashamed to say I have yet to hear this version. It feels a lot darker than the other version, which suits it so well. I like it.

I only knew the version of which Veverita was speaking, until I saw a comment there saying that the original video nearly had views. I must say: I like both versions a lot. ( can't choose a favourite) And you Mr. Voltaire are a genius! :)
