WHEN SHE WAS JUST A TINY TOT UPON HER GRAND-PÈRE’S KNEE
ARCH ANGELS CAME TO VISIT SINGING,"WAIT, SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE
SHE'LL BECOME A SAVIOR; A HERO STANDING TALL
CONQUERING PURE EVIL; SHE WILL OVERCOME IT ALL"
CHORUS
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE FOUND THE STRENGTH TO WIN
WITH SATAN'S MONSTERS MOCKING SHE STOOD UP TO BEGIN
TO TURN BADNESS INTO GOODNESS, SHE BECAME THE HOLY CURE
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE SAVED THE WORLD AND MORE
SHE WAS SINKING INTO QUICKSAND, SHE WAS FALLING INTO GRACE
STUMBLING THROUGH FOREVER SHREDDING EVIL WITH NO TRACE
SHE WAS WALKING INTO HEADLINES, SHE WAS HALFWAY TO BEYOND
SWALLOWING MOMENTUM FROM ETERNITY TILL DAWN
CHORUS
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE FOUND THE STRENGTH TO WIN
WITH SATAN'S MONSTERS MOCKING SHE STOOD UP TO BEGIN
TO TURN BADNESS INTO GOODNESS, SHE BECAME THE HOLY CURE
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE SAVED THE WORLD AND MORE
BREAK
BRIDGE
SOME SAY SHE WAS DEMENTED,THAT HER PASSION WASN'T RIGHT
BUT EVEN MORTAL ENEMIES WOULDN'T LET HER LEAVE THEIR SIGHT
HISTORY NOW HAS WRITTEN HOW SHE CHANGED THE DARK TO LIGHT
SHE'S A HERO FOR THE AGES BROUGHT HERE TO SET THINGS RIGHT
CHORUS
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE FOUND THE STRENGTH TO WIN
WITH SATAN'S MONSTERS MOCKING SHE STOOD UP TO BEGIN
TO TURN BADNESS INTO GOODNESS, SHE BECAME THE HOLY CURE
WHEN THE DEVIL CAME A KNOCKING, SHE SAVED THE WORLD AND MORE
