The waltz and the devil

Too late I said.

I've let the devil in. 

He grabbed a hold and let me sin. 

I hugged you so tightly, 

I don't know when I broke free. 

But I'm dancing with the devil now -

Why can't I just be? 

We danced the Waltz and the tango,

the horizontal mambo.
Yes I'm dancing with the devil now -

And I seem to know how. 

We took a break and I repented,

Prayer beads in hand. 

You must have known I just pretended. 

The spell of a man. 

I danced with the devil

Stomped all over holy days. 

We shook and we laughed, 

Conscious only when we parted ways. 

I want to leave the party, 

I want to stop this dance. 

Take me back to alone.

Save me from this trance. 

Be careful what you wish for. 

The devil whispered clear. 

Dance a little longer, 

The end is almost near. 

Blood shed on this holy month. 

I murdered all my faith. 

The world it crumbles all around,

I feel it's not my place. 

To ask you for forgiveness, 

To witness your grace. 

But I can't hide my face from heaven. 

The crescent moon still shines. 

And I dance with him every time he asks -

to you it's no surprise.

Please save me I'm in trouble,

I want to stop this dance. 

Dear lord lets pop this bubble -

I can no longer raise my hands.

To pray for your forgiveness - 

To ask you for your light. 

Dear lord this dance is tiring

Its now a breathless fight. 

I'm dancing with the devil,

no words - just conscious pain. 

Inflicted on my body, 

I left him in my veins.
