Sympathy For The Devil

13. Seven Devils

Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I have to burn your kingdom down

Holy water cannot help you now
See I've have to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

Seven devils all around me!
Seven devils in my house!
See they were there when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a battle cry
It's a symphony

Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done

They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I take your hearts
And to take your souls
What has been done
Cannot be undone
In the evil's heart
In the evil's soul

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

Everything was finally in place for a war. Sookie had the local Were pack, Thalia, Godric, Eric, Pam, and a good number of other ancient vampires, willing to help the cause. She also had a local witch coven willing to ward against the possibility of incoming Fae. One of the perks Sookie had from spending so much time around vampires, was that they had grown to trust her, even respect her—she had made many friends over the years, and it showed when she asked for assistance.

After a few days in the mortal realm, she was finally able to have some time with Eric—where they weren't having to organize a war. Eric was sitting in her living room, drinking a True Blood, watching her as she paced around nervously—they would be leaving for Faery in a couple hours, before the sun came up for the morning.

"Sookie, sit down," Eric said, motioning to the seat next to him on the couch, "you need to relax."

Sookie sighed and relented, crossing the living room, and plopping down on the couch next to him. "I'm scared," she told him honestly. "I'm more afraid for my people than myself. I want to give them a better life, and I think this is the only way to do it. But what if we fail, and we cause more misery and violence in the long run? What will their deaths have been for?"
