► Lyrics ◄
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
Beneath the lid of a leaden sky
A whispered pact begins to dry.
The ink of truth, a septic black,
Eats through the floor, a fading crack.
No specter here with rattling chain,
But creeping rot in blood and brain.
A silhouette against the wall
Begins to breathe, to heed my call.
It feeds on quiet, grows with dread —
The welcome fungus in my head.
Its roots are deep, a part of me,
The only truth I'll ever see.
I don't await a ghostly knell;
This inner rot, I know it well.
It speaks in tongues of silent spite,
And owns the marrow of the night.
So bring no holy man, no cross to bear!
Your exorcisms foul this tainted air!
This is my chosen, my personal hell!
The rot is deep, the comfort real!
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW has signed the seal!
No need for fire from the sky!
This familiar shadow won't be denied
I've walked the path where preachers kneel,
And felt the void their prayers conceal.
Their heaven's light, a blinding sham,
A hollow roar, a slaughter-lamb.
I choose the depth, the subtle grin,
The chaos coiling deep within.
A tailored noose of perfect fit,
A scripture written in the pit.
This isn't fear, it's clarity —
A foul and cherished gravity.
To dance with my own tailored fiend
Is to be truly, wholly seen.
So let your angels fight and fall,
Against my keeper, my prison wall.
The chain is mine, I hold the key!
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW is part of me!
No yearning for a gilded lie!
This comfortable curse will never die!
The rot is deep, the comfort real!
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW has signed the seal!
No need for fire from the sky!
This familiar shadow won't be denied!
It is the whisper in the vein!
The sweet, sweet solace in the pain!
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW! The constant ache!
The only vow I'll never break!
