Duel With The Devil

I: Motherless Children

 

Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?

You wish you could start dreaming in clouds of white

But everything could change tonight

When you duel with the devil living in your mind

 

Time reveals nothing - it's a suicide love affair

Whispers in the darkness and revolution in the air

Will you see or look behind

When you duel with the devil living in your mind

 

Motherless children

Wandering nowhere

Feels like there's miles to go

Reaching for water

Longing to go there

Flooding into your soul

Into your soul

 

Do you know the difference between who and what you are

Will you ride off in the distance like some highway star

Will you try until you make it good

Or will you sell your body down in hollywood

 

Motherless children

Wandering nowhere

Feels like there's miles to go

Reaching for water

Longing to go there

Flooding into your soul

Into your soul...

II: Walk Away

 

There's a time to understand

There's a time to see the sun

There's a time for makin up

There's a time to come together

 

Fall into the learning curve

Feeding on experience

Never turn your back on me

Never paint it black by numbers

 

It's so easy to waste away

It's a simple operation

Far too many givin' in

Fall into dark temptations

 

Everybody needs a King

Everybody needs a Captain

When you hear the fallen angels sing

in your private Armaggedon

 

And you walk away

(With nowhere to go)

For another day

(Turn the lights down low)

But you'll never know

(While you walk away)

When you walk away with nowhere to go

 

Everybody had their doubts

So they tried to pull me under

Everytime i felt the strain

Someone sent a sense of wonder

 

Everybody walked the hard road

In the dark they felt the grind

Everybody heard the thunder

No one ever read the signs

 

And you walk away

(With nowhere to go)

For another day

(Turn the lights down low)

But you'll never know

(While you walk away)

When you walk away with nowhere to go

III: Silence of the Night

 

Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?

You wish you could start dreaming but it's always black and white

Looking for that big sky that'll finally make it right

Well everything could change tonight

IV: You're Not Alone

 

Nighttime falls it came too fast

Down the halls tiptoeing past

Out come the shadows of life itself

To clap along and wish you well

 

Motherless children

Wandering nowhere

Look up you're almost home

Reaching for water

Longing to know you're not alone

V: Almost Home

 

Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?

You wish you could start dreaming in black and white

Well everything could change tonight

When you duel with the devil living in your mind

 

Motherless children

Wandering nowhere

Feels like there's miles to go

Reaching for water

Longing to go there

Flooding into your soul

Into your soul...
