The devil nearly died
In the middle of the night
With no-one by his side, but me
I'm paralyzed with fear
At a pair for one more year
He lamented his career
And he softly spoke these words
He said please stay by my side
'Cause I don't want to die tonight
Even now I can't deny this gradual descent into abandonment
As a lonely man now I resign to just pretend
To be anxiously here waiting for an end
The devil nearly cried
I could see it in his eyes
The conviction of a life of crime
I whispered in his ear
"Life is not to be revered
It will always disappear
Just when you need it most"
So he said please stay by my side
'Cause I don't want to die tonight
Even now I can't deny this gradual descent into abandonment
As a lonely man now I resign to just pretend
To be anxiously here waiting for an end
And the moment comes and my breath is gone
Don't look away
'Cause you have not seen what it truly means to be alive
Until you've seen yourself inside a dead man's eyes
Even now I can't deny this gradual descent into abandonment
As a lonely man now I resign to just pretend
To be anxiously here waiting for an end
