THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS BY BEGGARS AT THE GATE
BY JAY WELLER
The Devil Comes In Many Forms is an original song by Beggars At The Gate. This was one of the first songs created by Beggars At The Gate. The author considers the lyrics among the best contributed by the musical group.
The musical composition is good. However, as this song was early in the musical creations of the group, the producer as well as the composer of the bassline, did not have a full understanding of some of the nuances of musical composition. The great guitarist and composer, Pasquini, made recommendations as to how to compose the bassline, which the producer discounted based upon his restricted knowledge of composition. As such, the producer, given the opportunity, will revisit this composition in the future, in order to properly form this song.
Despite this criticism, Pasquini did greatly enhance the quality of the song with his guitar performance. Also, Ted Owen, the exceptional percussionist of the group Beggars At The Gate, delivered an exceptional performance. Justin Colen, the sound engineer, modified the vocal to create a deeper and more menacing deliverance.
It is important generally, and more specifically in musical composition, to understand and analyze objectively, one’s talents and deficiencies. The musical compositions of Beggars At The Gate became quickly and progressively better as the Producer gained confidence in the exceptional musicians who contributed to this project. Basic rules of composition were agreed to by the members, but each individual musician was given the freedom to compose and perform, as such endeavors related to their individual talents and chosen musical instruments.

DARK FINS AWAIT THE SINKING SHIP
A GLASS OF MILK SLIPS FROM THE GRIP
FROM CORRUPT SCHEMES ON DESERT SANDS
BROKEN GLASS CUTS IN THE HAND
ON POINTED EARS AND POLISHED HORNS
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
ON RISING TEARS AND RAGING STORMS
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
BRITNEY SPEARS HAS BECOME THE NORM
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
THE DISNEY KIDS NOW KIDDIE PORN
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
THE CATCHER TAKEN TO THE CORN
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
YOUR CHILDREN ALL BEEN RAPED AND TORN
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
YOUR NATIONS ARE IN FALTER
THE SKY IS COMING CLEAR
THE AXIS HAS BEEN ALTERED
THE END IS COMING NEAR
THY LEADERS SMELL OF SULPHUR
THE POLITICS OF FEAR
THEY RUSH MADLY TO FALSE ALTERS
AS DRUNKEN MEN THEY VEER
LONG THEY LOST THEIR SACRED OATH
NOW ARE SADDLED TO THE GOAT
THEY PRANCE ABOUT THEIR PARLOURS
AS IT WHISPERS IN THEIR EARS
NOTHING LEFT FOR THE MEEK AND JUST
ANCIENT TESTS ARE GROUND TO DUST
ORDAINED MANNERS COLLECTING RUST
NUMBERED TRUTHS ARE BROKE AND BUST
TRUTH AND HONOUR NOW MET WITH SCORN
AS FANTASIES AND UNICORNS
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
SINKING SHIP AND RAGING STORM
BLOODY WATERS BEGIN THE SWARM
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
