lyrics

The Devil Smiles.
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,

The piercing light strips the sleep from my eyes and it pushes the demons away.
It's another day's drive with one more sober night well it's worth it to fix my mistakes.

It was a lifetime ago when the damage was sown I am done papering over cracks.
I'm going alone with a gun in my hand I made peace that there's no turning back.

I wear my regrets with the heart on my sleeve as they fight for control of the wheel.
They say walk away, you'll forgive and forget but I struggle to see the appeal.

If justice is something that ends in a death then I'll take it along for the ride.
This calling I own and I feel in my bones, like the terrors that haunt me each night.

In the beginning we all have a choice and a roll of the dice in our hands.
We learn over years that you hold back the tears you just shut up or you make a stand.
You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.

And the devil smiles.

The devil smiles.

The morning had come and my grip on the gun never eased as I replayed my days.
The pain that I caused were the lessons that taught all my loved ones to just stay away.

It's easy for me if I try to believe I'm a victim in this twisted game.
last thing at night the truth can't be denied, and I know I must shoulder the blame.

Miles away from the next living soul weeks will pass maybe months till I'm found.
A bottle in hand marks the hero's last stand with the devil he had to take out.

The devil moved on he still lives in this song as he waits for the next host to take.
If your will is too weak then you may hear him speak in your ear in the most tempting way.

In the beginning we all have a choice and a roll of the dice in our hands.
We learn over years that you hold back the tears you just shut up or you make a stand.
You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.

And the devil smiles.

the devil smiles.

In the beginning we all have a choice and a roll of the dice in our hands.
We learn over years that you hold back the tears you just shut up or you make a stand.
You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.

The path that we take isn't something we choose, and the roll of the dice is all rigged.
Right from the start you play your written part like the words in the songs that you sing.
But sometimes the light or the dark takes an interest, and they hitch a ride for a while.
The flicker of something you see in the mirror the curl of your lips in a smile.

And the devil smiles
