The Devil's Debt

So, you think that you've found peace
Happiness, release
I don't have that faith yet
The darkness coils, unwinds
Around me serpentine
And I cannot forget

It's the sun and the moon and the stars above
It's the crown of gold, the eaglestone
And love is the devil's debt
You are gone, so let the slaughter start
In that quarter of my heart
You left me the devil's debt
The devil's debt

So, a sobering Sunday morn
The streets are pocked with scorn
For Saturday's shoes
One more failed attempt, alas
To obliterate the past
And I'm aching for you

It's the sun and the moon and the stars above
It's the crown of gold, the crux
And love is the devil's debt
You are gone, so let the slaughter start
In that quarter of my heart
You left me the devil's debt
The devil's debt

So, do I want you to have hope
Want to see you cope
When my dreams they flay me?
I'm anchored by this cess
Of rancour, bitterness
You know you owe me
And you need to pay me

It's the sun and the moon and the stars above
It's the crown of gold, the eaglestone
And love is the devil's debt
You are gone, so let the slaughter start
In that quarter of my heart
You left me the devil's debt
The devil's debt
