Born as a Devil

In a world of sin and sweat
I drew my very first breath
Born in the shadows
Wrapped in darkness
Like a deathly reef
I was never meant for
Righteousness or paths
Narrow and straight
No, this rebel's heart yearned for chaos
, and it begged to stray

Born to break the law
Born with devil's grace
I raced through life
Living on the edge
, breaking every face
With fire in my veins and drugs in my hand
Born to break the law
Born with devil's grace
I raced through life
, living on the edge
Breaking every face
With fire in my veins and drugs in my hand
This bad boy lived
Leaving destruction as his only plan

Through the haze of smoke and neon lights
I made a deal with fate
And swore to play the game of ruin without hesitation or debate
With friends as pawns and
Loyalty an unattainable dream
I rose to power in the underbelly
Like a wolf without a sheen

Born to be a devil's child

In a cloud of chaos
, high on life and vice
I stomped my way through society with pride
As my guide and eyes tight-lidded with nice
A loaded gun at my side
, always ready for the trigger to pull
In a world of judgment
I took my stand on the brink of it all

Born to break the law
, born with devil's grace
I raced through life
Living on the edge
Breaking every face
With fire in my veins and drugs in my hand
This bad boy lived
Leaving destruction as his only plan
Born to break the law
The whiskey flows
Like a river in the heat of the night
And the darkness beckons
, pulling me deeper into its sight
With each twist and turn
The line between right and wrong
Fades away
And I embrace my song

The nights stretch long
And my mind wanders to unknown lands
Where no one can touch me
, and I am free from earthbound hands
A modern-day outlaw
A tale of the tragic and fierce
Dancing at the edge
Where angels fear to roam
, so raw and sincere

Born to break the law
, born with devil's grace
I raced through life
, living on the edge
, breaking every face
With fire in my veins and drugs in my hand
This bad boy lived
Leaving destruction as his only plan

Now as the dawn breaks
, and the sun rises anew
I stand alone
The ashes of my life strewn through and true
The law came knocking at my door
With its heavy iron fist
A warrior fallen, but never broken
, I face my inevitable twist

In the end, this rebel's tale is one of fire and regret
A life led in chaos
A journey no one would forget
Born to break the law
Born with devil's grace
But in the mirror's glow
I see a man who found his righteous place

Born to break the law
Born with devil's grace
I raced through life
Living on the edge, breaking every face
With fire in my veins and drugs in my hand
This bad boy lived, leaving destruction as his only plan
Born to break the law
