The Devil Before You
I was sold as a boy to a soldier
Who died in a cannonballs blaze
He was sure that the love of a stranger
Would make his acquaintance with grace
He's been coming around when I'm lonely
I've been watching him waltz through the gate
I've been putting the devil before you
The hour that innocence fades
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Except me
Living Nietzsche's fantasies
It's been eating me up what awaits you
And the pain that I'll see on your face
When I tell you the devil before you
Soon will be taking your place
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Except me
Living Nietzsche's fantasies
Now that the war is over, I value
The scars that I deemed to be waste
Well I've chained up the devil before you
Let's fire off that boy into space
Who died in a cannonballs blaze
He was sure that the love of a stranger
Would make his acquaintance with grace
He's been coming around when I'm lonely
I've been watching him waltz through the gate
I've been putting the devil before you
The hour that innocence fades
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Except me
Living Nietzsche's fantasies
It's been eating me up what awaits you
And the pain that I'll see on your face
When I tell you the devil before you
Soon will be taking your place
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Growing up with God, facing innumerable odds
No one wants to say, why do you think so?
Except me
Living Nietzsche's fantasies
Now that the war is over, I value
The scars that I deemed to be waste
Well I've chained up the devil before you
Let's fire off that boy into space
