The Devil Comes In

I think I should be afraid
But I feel the weight of the stones pressing down
And it's okay

One story ending as another begins
Don't start a war unless it's one you can win
I understand your faith has lead you astray
But you still have to pay

And so I made a deal
I accepted a gift
I will carry a burden
But it will free me from this

And no one will ever see
The truth under the skin
The lights go out
And the devil comes in

I think you should be afraid
Feel the weight of your sins pressing down
Your blood will wash them away
Nothing I do is gonna make this right
But I can feel a little better tonight
Knowing that you may have put me through hell
But at least you suffered as well

What could you offer
But a life of regret
What could you give
But a prayer and a threat

And no one will ever see
The truth under the skin
The lights go out
And the devil comes in

Accusations and brutality
The sparks that will ignite
The devil didn't lead me astray
But I think he may have found me tonight

And no one will ever see
The truth under the skin
The lights go out
And the devil comes in
