lyrics

The devil used to sing to me
She told me how things were gonna be
Her voice kept me up at night
Not like I put up much of a fight

And when she sings
I never listen
I close my eyes
Remember to be kind
And when I walk
I walk in heaven
And when I walk
The devil stays behind

Down at the crossroads
That's where I met her
She was dancing
To the sound of darkness

She held out her hand
I took it in mine
She stole away my kind
ness
I search for the light
She holds me in the night

And when she sings
I'm there to listen
I close my eyes
Where nothing there was kind
And when I walk
I walk in darkness
And when I walk
The devil walks behind

With every footstep
She's beside me
She's taken over my mind
When my only wish was to be kind

I've seen the darkness
Things I can't unsee
Of all the things I've done
I can never be free

And when she sings
I'm there to listen
I close my eyes
Where nothing there was kind
And when I walk
I walk in darkness
And when I walk
The devil walks behind

The light and dark are pairs of two
They can burn and blind you
I've looked into the darkest sun
And sunk into the darkest one
Now that I am seeing black
I'll dance away and won't come back
Now that I am seeing back
I'll dance away and won't come back
Won't come back
