New Model Army - Devil's Bargain Lyrics

Wonderfull Song..... i fell so lucky that i found this band. Amazing.

Seen them belfast as a 16 year ago unreal 45 now ready for action in dublin soon

Seven people were looking for Justin Beaver not Justin Sullivan

They took me over 1991 and I cannot without them.

Always amazing. I've followed them from the beginning. I've still got my original cloggs from Hebdon Bridge x

An endless production line of top class songs.Best band ever and getting better with age

Just a brilliant song from a brilliant NMA album. This band just gets better and better.

War and rain andf revolution

Stunning at Beautiful Days festival

There's a dusty old photograph I'll always recall
Maybe it's true what they say – it takes a piece of your soul
You were jumping from the bridge and falling into space
Looking back at the camera with that smile on your face

the best band... of course..
the best song... perhaps not, but this ranks very high!

I got into NMA when I was 18, now my son is 18 and NMA are his favourite band. Best band ever. See you on tour soon x

Probably one of the best songs ever written.

From the greatest Bands ever...

Is this how mark it?

Justin: Victoria, Canada: thanks for thee AWESOME show!!!!!!!

+8TheMighty So Damn right!

put your ear protection on and turn it loud

Awesome! I haven't thought about NMA in forever. In college many moons ago I hung out with a girl who was obsessed with this band and she turned me on to them. It was 1993-94. Deb K., if you're out there, it's E.J. Hope you're happy and found a good path for yourself :)

+bikerscout2012 w deb k

Masterpiece! 

One of the best, so atmospheric, hits the spine, hairs stand on end. Well done to all involved.

+John Smith hit the nail on the head dude nice one

I'd like them a lot more if they'd gone along with The Lord Protector's ideals.

What? The ideas of a humourless and joyless puritanical imperialist, who is effectively to thank for centuries of oppression in Ireland? The idea that Cromwell was some kind of humanitarian revolutionary is ludicrous in the extreme.

Great stuff. The keys at the start sound a bit like Tainted Love.

Devils Bargain

(Sullivan, M Dean) 2014

So you found your way out there to the edge of the world
Where the falcons fly but you're still pinned to the ground
So up the stony pathways like Moses before
To stand high on your mountain and look down on us all

They call this faith, they call it a devils bargain
Or just following on to the end

There's a thousand little tricks and games of control
And the withholding of love is the cruelest of all
People are like trees, they sway and they bend
But you stand like a rock and face into the wind

They call this faith...

And the closer to the sun, the colder and thinner the air becomes
But you were never scared of anything or anyone
You stand like a statue as the animals come
To take from your hand, to eat from your hand

There's a dusty old photograph I'll always recall
Maybe it's true what they say – it takes a piece of your soul
You were jumping from the bridge and falling into space
Looking back at the camera with that smile on your face

They call this faith

lyrics - we need the lyrics to this amazing track ...

you can found the lyrics to the official nma site

make sure you go to the NMA site for the lyrics, I saw a pretty bad version on other lyrics sites

@Hawkwindfarmegullsee Good - Justin is from Buckinghamshire. He moved to Bradford to attend college/university. But ever since then I guess you could say he's been an honorary Yorkshireman :)

Just can't get enough...
