Bon Jovi go ahead with the promotion of their fourteenth album “This house is not for sale” with a new single “The devil’s in the temple”.
The track, written by frontman Jon with Billy Falcon, is the sixth single from the album!
Jon said that the song is about an unnamed person at the record company. The video depicts a young female singer being harassed by record label executives to change her image, while Jon looks on in disapproval.
Lyrics:
This was a church
A house full of prayer
It ain’t that now
I could tear it down
There’s thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown
Handing you coal
Swearing it’s gold
Look what they’ve done to this house of love
It’s too late to turn river to blood
The saviors come and gone, we’re all out of time
The devil’s in the temple and he ain’t no friend of mine
I’d turn things around
I would if I could
Crash through the gates
Break every chain
Jail for the jailers
Sing freedoms song
Amazing grace
Burn down this place
Look what they’ve done to this house of love
It’s too late to turn river to blood
The saviors come and gone, we’re all out of time
The devil’s in the temple and he ain’t no friend of mine
Look what they’ve done to this house of love
Look what they’ve done to this house of love
The devil’s in the temple and he’s making a mess
Got the Mona Lisa, got his hands up her dress
The gun is in his hand but he ain’t gonna confess
He lies
Look what they’ve done to this house of love
It’s too late to turn river to blood
The saviors come and gone, we’re all out of time
The devil’s in the temple and he ain’t no friend of mine
The devil’s in the temple and he ain’t no friend of mine
The devil’s in the temple and he ain’t no friend of mine
