Lyrics

The Devil

The devil, take me now

Before I'm ushered out

'Cause you are like me

But I can bleed

And I can die

But I can't hide

From you

Prisoners of course

Taken by force

To smother my streams

Tonight in my dreams

'Cause I can die

But I can't hide

The way is clear

Away from here

And you
