Black sky, black sky, evenin' rain

Oh why, did I have to cause you pain?

I lie here wondering if I'll ever learn to keep my head

There's somethin' inside keeps pushin' me over the edge

I've tried, I've tried to shake this rage

But once it starts, it's so hard to disengage

I can't bear bein' so cruel to the ones I love

But there's a stranger in my heart and he's out for blood

He's out for blood

The devil's inside, the devil's inside

The devil's inside my heart

The devil's inside, the devil's inside

The devil's inside my heart

Leading my mind astray

Twisting everything I say

How can I fight the devil inside my heart?

Oh Lord, dear Lord, mercy please

He starves my heart so ruthlessly

The blackest dragon is he that chokes my light

Got me askin' for more and more when I should be satisfied

Why can't I be satisfied?

The devil's inside, the devil's inside

The devil's inside my heart

The devil's inside, the devil's inside

The devil's inside my heart

Leading my mind astray

Twisting everything I say

How can I fight the devil inside my heart?

The darkest phantom is he that chokes my light

Got me askin' for more and more when I should be satisfied
