They live in you, as you, and ARE YOU. The Devil in scripture is allegory for the human ego. It's who you BELIEVE yourself to be when in fact it is a lie.
Devil/Satan/Ego is the great deceiver. But Christ IN YOU is the hope of glory and your true Divine identity. Christ, which is the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24)... God/Source itself... is who you really are, the very breath and spirit of your life. There is only God. There is nothing BUT God/Source in the entire universe. But the Devil/Ego, the great deceiver, wants to keep you in bondage to the lie of who you believe yourself to be. Imperfect. Mortal. Flesh and blood. Prideful. Powerful. In control.
But when the truth and remembrance of who you really are begins to resurrect in you, as it will eventually for all humankind, you will make the great Exodus out of the land of Egypt (ignorance/darkness) into the Promised Land of light and understanding and truth. The TRUTH of who you really are, a Divine spark of God. That will set you free from the lie of who you once believed yourself to be.
Brilliant song and lyrics, way ahead of it's time and definitely took balls to put out there as another posted above. The world at large would rather lay blame for the atrocities of history - past, present, and future history - on some Devil or entity outside of themselves. When in fact "it was you and me" all along. It's all symbolism and allegory. And until mankind comes to the understanding that we are all literally ONE appearing as the many in legions of forms and expressions, and that when we destroy another we always destroy our own self as well, it will continue ad infinitum.
