The Devil

Story

They drove you into the ragging arms

Of the devil

And found you in the darkest night 

By the shore

Body and soul apart forever


The weeping mother whispers

To the lifeless body

Her eyes full of tears from the pain

“Oh baby girl what could I’ve done better?“

How could it be a mother’s fault?

Where it all begins

It’s such a shame


Now you know

But now you know

What you’ll miss

Now you know

A broken heart 

Is aching hard

For the love that was always there


Now I know

But now I know

What I’ll miss

Now I know

I’ll miss the sun

The earth

My worthless life 


Death’s outside 

Death’s outside my window

Looking in


Death’s outside 

What will begin?
