The Devil In Me


[The Chief Magistrate - A Meeting Between the Condemned]

Blackened skies, dark harmonies
Sombre tunes, grey melodies
A throne of gold (platinized bones)
The moonlight shining red
The secret ryche in my head
He rips the wall between our minds
His prison faces this other side
He screams
The devil in me
The devil in me

Silvery tears from tired eyes
Abysmal roar the devil cries
He faces a fallen paradise
Built by fools (and fatal lies)
A fallen beast, a fallen man
Both deceived, we stand condemned
I understand his better thoughts
He wanted freedom, now he's caught within

The devil in me
The devil in me

Once we both believed in god
He told us lies, a pact in blood
Through madness we travelled, on angelical demons
Up and down in the sand glass of oblivion
Remember, remember
My daughter and her eyes...

A throne for me, a throne for him
A throne for all the fallen kings
We march the road to the fallen gates
To rule the purple barren waste
The moonlight shining red
The secret ryche in my head
He rips the wall between our minds
His prison faces this other side
He's free - the devil in me
The devil in me
The devil in me
The devil in me
The devil in me
