i ran from temptation i prayed for salvation i screamed at god save me from my own damnation my eyes were cold and blinded i held the page i could not read drew up my blood inside him i woke up in a sweat and heard the lord s decree the devil is me i fought myself to be set free because the devil is me i lived in confusion choked on my past illusions i sinned a thousand times and drank the wine while screaming out for absolution i stood on mountain broken i woke up in a sweat and heard the lord s decree take a look at yourself and tell me what you see the devil is me my eyes were cold and blinded i held the page i could not read drew up my blood inside him i woke up in a sweat and heard the lord s decree yeah the devil is me
