Devil In The Darkness

there's a monster in the shadows
he's just waiting for his chance
to raise his puppet strings like gallows
and make the whole world dance

there's a devil in the darkness
he just hums his quiet tune
an ancient siren across the waters
singing sparks to light the fuse

he is feeding on the hatred
and the fear inside us all
can you see him gaining strength as
we load our guns and build our walls

we are walking through the valley
and we stand amongst our demons
can't you hear them calling loudly
out for sweet revenge

there's an answer to the violence
that is running through our veins
let the love to fill the silence
and watch it fall away
