The Devil Inside

The devil he just hangs around
Waiting on his prey
Quietly he’ll pull you down
A little day by day

He lies at first to win your heart
And tells you its okay
But you are trapped right from the start
And what a price you pay

He only takes the very best
To be his personal slaves
North, south, east and west
Dominations what he craves

The anger and the loneliness
The misery and defeat
Loving families gone remiss
His victories are so sweet
