Devil Inside Of Me

I see red flames covering blue skies
I see black smoke in the whites of your eyes
Oh, you are faithful and you keep on rising higher
Oh, I am hateful and I’ll set your wings on fire 

The devil comes around on cloud 9 and 6 feet underground
The devil lives anew, he makes 3 along with me and you
Oh, you’re an angel, dear, but you will never see
Oh, that the danger here is the devil inside of me

I walk a tightrope stretched across a godforsaken land
You’ve got high hope that you’ll reach out and touch the maker’s hand
Oh, we’ll be punished for things that we ain’t done
Oh, we’ll be banished from that garden in the sun

You keep trying, but I don’t think you’ll ever save your soul
You keep flying, the road to heaven also takes a toll
Oh, there’s no pity from beneath that crown of thorns
Oh, you are guilty and that’s just the way you’re born
