My Devils Dance

I can fight you in the daylight hours it's easier I can take all you throw at me and break it into small pieces I am strong and I know how to survive now Come on now come at me fight me I can take it I am shattered though because I know tonight My devils dance with me In the darkness of the night I will stand up tall, never fall I will beat you I will take the pain take the fear and send it back at you again I will overcome you my Will will be strong Come on now come at me fight me I can take it But I know that when the day is gone tonight My devils dance with me In the darkness of the night I have suffered your spears I have shed all my tears I will be strong and stand up to your assault you will not beat me I know the past is gone and you can't hurt me Come on now come at me fight me I can take it I am shattered from the fight and still tonight My devils dance with me In the darkness of the night As the darkness of evening closes in around me And your assault on me continues unabated I will stand up to you I will defeat you Come on now come at me fight me I can take it Nothing you throw will make me sway but tonight My devils dance with me In the darkness of the night As the midnight hour approaches I will hold no fear I will breathe deeply and I'll draw on all of my strength to face you There is no hurt left that you can throw at me Come on now come at me fight me I can take it I will never give in I will win tonight My devils dance with me In the darkness of the night So now we play the game the game of fear who is stronger I will never give in you can visit my dreams I will conquer Throw your blazing spears I'll quench them with my tears Come on now come at me fight me I can take it And no matter what you do to me tonight I'll dance my dance with devils In the darkness of the night.
