This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

Devil's appetite is open wider
Belly of the beast getting larger
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
I fear no evil
Psalm 23:4


So many things to distract you from God
How many soldiers will fall short?
God's all around, hope you know that, my friend
And in Him you can depend

Oh, the devil's appetite is open wider
And the belly of the beast is getting larger
Don't be careless now, he'll devour
And chances are, you won't recover, no

Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Failing to yield to the devil is hard
Falling a victim is so common
But don't let your heart be tempted beyond
Fire you can't recover from

There's so much war
So much killing
So much destruction
So much hate
I fear no evil
I fear no evil
I fear no evil

Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)

So many things to distract you from Jah
How many soldiers will fall short?
God's all around, hope you know that, my friend
And in Him you can depend

Devil's appetite is open wider
The belly of the beast, getting larger
Don't be careless now, he'll devour
And chances are, you won't recover, no

Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)

So many things to distract you from Jah
Who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)
Who (who), can stand it (who)
Tell me who (who), can stand it (who)

Devil's appetite is open wider
And don't you be [?] fall the devil, no
He'll swallow you
Yeah, yeah
Got to survive
Yeah...
