- - - DEMON INSIDE - - -
It's here
Burning, tearing
The confines of my soul
This demon inside confides
Lost secrets of eternity
A pound of flesh evenly
Distributed eternally
Prophets of damnation
The collectors gain, wickedly
Choirs once thought heavenly
Embrace the shadows, splendidly
Once upon a time, face the day
Make a deal just to numb the pain
I can feel the beast in my bones
And know I'll never go back home
The devil did offer to me
Lonely paths I'd never have seen
A verse of a great secret song
I don't know where it all went wrong
The demon inside reminds
Of the lost past, eventually
Of goddamned sovereignty
For a god who had seemingly
Gained profits from damnation
I paved the way horrifically
The thief of virginity
Darkness consumes lucidity
Once upon a time, face the day
Make a deal just to numb the pain
I can feel the beast in my bones
And know I'll never go back home
The devil did offer to me
Lonely paths I'd never have seen
A verse of a great secret song
I don't know where it all went wrong
It's here
Burning, tearing
The confines of my soul
The demon inside refines
Burning rage disgracefully
Burning bridges willingly
My devil sneers maliciously
Puppets of damnation
Are raptured bewitchingly
Torments disability
Addressing trials of tragedy
Once upon a time, face the day
Make a deal just to numb the pain
I can feel the beast in my bones
And know I'll never go back home
The devil did offer to me
Lonely paths I'd never have seen
A verse of a great secret song
I don't know where it all went wrong

My demons are always scheming for something or another. . .I liked the way you captured its perspective here. . .It almost felt as if I was listening to a heavy metal ballad. . .Wicked ink, King Hades, as always. . .xoxo, Devlin/Devil.)

You are too kind, dearest Devlin. Everyone has an angel on one shoulder and a demon but seems, at least here at DU, that the demon is the dominant one.
