Tempted The Devil With My Song...

Here from a king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan, I do
On treasures and flesh never few

But I would
wish it
all away
If I
thought I'd
lose you
just one day

The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck, soon to drown.

But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me 'round

So I
I would wish this
all away

Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along

But I
I would
If I could
I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away

No prize
that could hold
sway
Or justify
my
giving away
my center

So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow
would take you away.

You,
my piece of mind,
my all,
my center,
just trying to hold on
one more day.

Damn my eyes!

Damn my eyes!
If they should compromise the fulcrum:
If wants and needs divide me
Then I might as well be gone...

Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one

Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one

Divided, I'll wither away

Shine down upon the many.
Light our way, benevolent sun.

Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union

So,
as one,
survive
Another day
and season
Silence, legion.
Save your poison.
Silence, legion.
Stay out of my way!
