"Save your prayers. God is not here with us now

There is only the darkness here...and your death."

I swear this room is empty, but I can hear the voice

And eyes are crawling on me just like flies

Calling into question every thought and choice

Telling me that all I know is lies

Dejected and disgusted

I'm inclined to give it up

What’s the use? Why go on?

It all means nothing!

[Chorus] I'm starting to think I've been deceived

And there’s no reason to believe

And all has failed, there's no relief

The tempting whispered thoughts of the noonday devil!

Am I beyond redemption, sick beyond repair?

Is all this just a futile exercise?

If everything's a failure, then it's more than I can bear

To stumble on in search of some false pride

Tear me down, juice me up

Break my will and watch me fall

Wear me out, let me go

The flesh, the flesh is weak!

[Chorus]

No! I refuse!

No! I can do this!

No! I will fortify my will into an iron tower!

I'll put those thoughts out of my head

I won't be given up for dead

I'll focus on the road ahead

Get behind me now!

Faith deserts us all sometimes

When demons infiltrate our minds

But I'm not gonna lose this time

I’m going to break the back of the noonday devil!
