I drunk the Devil to my death
for I've a tortured soul--
the Devil stole my final breath,
I took from him his role;
You'll not escape my fire,
for I've stol'n away the eyes
of every thief and liar
that Hellfire did dis-guise.
"The devil is a woman in a red dress."
"Whiskey, you're the devil!"
This devil is also inspired by the ladjables (lajabless), the goat-hooved soul-eating devil woman of Caribbean folklore.
Her heart has been cut out, her soul (button eyes) is broken, and she has stolen the souls of her bodiless prisoners--their souls float in the currounding flames, and the DEVIL is crowned by the inverted pentagram (though a symbol of many other things besides the devil, also fitting).
