lyrics

Please help me father
Pray god what have I done
I couldn’t take it anymore
I went and killed someone
The bloody warmness resonates
Through digits stiff with frost
I kneel down there, my final prayer
What humanity have I lost

I sit and I ponder my morality
But I see the beast and the beast sees me

It’s the demon inside
The devil in the dark
Inside my veins a vengeful strain
A flame grown from a spark
And you can take the angels
And you can take the saints
But the blackness holds dominion
Even over those with grace
The demon inside

I feel my soul inside me
I’m locked up in a cell
The prison guard with crimson eyes
I must escape this hell
I will tear through all the legions
Of these demons clad in white
I feel a tiny sting
And it takes away the light

I drift alone in an empty space
And I watch the dark one as he wears my face

It’s the demon inside
The devil in the dark
Inside my veins a vengeful strain
A flame grown from a spark
And you can take the angels
And you can take the saints
But the blackness holds dominion
Even over those with grace
The demon inside

It’s the demon inside
The devil in the dark
Inside my veins a vengeful strain
A flame grown from a spark
And you can take the angels
And you can take the saints
But the blackness holds dominion
Even over those with grace
The demon inside
