It had taken time for him to open my eyes
And realize he lived a life full of lies
It had taken him time to realize
He's too callus to cry

He's cornered and there is nothing he can do

Now he sings the devil's blues

Inside is a pain from a time of old
Suppressed so tight in the heart of coal
The world struck a spark that sat ablaze his soul
Now he's consumed by rock and roll

His flesh is reflecting the colors of his muse

Now he sings the devil's blues

He's in the dark feeling the temperature rise
He screams at the top of lungs enrage

LIES

LIES

LIES

LIES...

Unable to control the rage
Now he's in hell unable to turn the page

This boy decided to play the game and was used

Now he's singing the devil's blues

Oh, now it's time to pay the devil's dues

Now you know why, you sing the devil's blues

It's so sad I know it hurts
He should of known when a naked person offers him their shirt

Nothing left to do

But sing the devil's blues
