The fruit that's plot from the bitter tree's rotten, oh You can find that seed so deep in me As a child I was taught to fear if it ever grows So I get on my knees with the daily please
Swallow me down and your doubt will surely burn These are the lessons I was made to learn As I age it gets harder to resist its call I tread lightly for it if I ever fall THE DEVIL'S GONNA KEEP ME
A new love's fascination burns straight through my corpse You send shivers when you touch my skin I don't have the will to fight you anymore So I take a bite 'cause you've given me
Hold me high in your arms a sweet embrace We breathe harder, faster, we make pain As I lay tangled up with you we stay up close I hear a whisper as the silence stops THE DEVIL'S GONNA KEEP ME
Let's stay hands, don't never wash clean, wash clean I try desperately but the stain stays here, The food has proven, a grown I can't bare his weight So I rip the judgment I await Bury me 6 feet underground along the dead Nothing can stop my faith that lies ahead The time has come to read the life I leave behind In the end my soul is reassigned THE DEVIL'S GONNA KEEP ME
