I am your guilty conscience

I am your broken promise

I am the seeds that you must sow

I am your base desires

Dark deeds that you require

I am the Devil that you know

My face is yours, it is the mask I wear

Mosaic of all of the lives that I share

I'm merely an effigy

To burn when you have the need

To purge all you sins that you ignore

Your immolating fire

Your visions when you're higher

Karma mechanic when you're low

I am your hopes and prayers

I am your fears and nightmares

I am the devil that you know

Righteous crusader, don't make me laugh

You're the reason this world is torn in half

How dare you imply I wait

On prayers to indulge your hate

For who wins when both sides pray in war

Your demons out on display

A chimera that you made

I am a puppet for your show

A Frankenstein that's risen

Out of its musty prison

God is the Devil that you know

The evil in you begets the sacred in me

I am the fears you hide deep within your core

I am your touch of Midas

I am your golden idols

I'm a messiah at your door

An endless font of blessing

But that's all window dressing

I am the Devil that you know
