Invitation From the Devil
The demons inside you has taken your soul
It holds your spirit with a deadly hold
Tormenting your nights with pain and agony
Granting you no comfort for your misery
It's a monkey on your back that will never let go
Until to yourself stand up to it and demand it to go
Your waking moments are only with the need to ease the pain
And when you cannot the demons take control again
Lashing out at everyone who comes near you
Destroying not only yourself but those who care for you
And now you stand alone and a hollow shell
You've lost you yourself and those you loved as well
The monkey on your back holds the strings to make you dance
You are the pawn in his game and he is the master of your fate
