If Not For The Devil

02. IF NOT FOR THE DEVIL

TELL ME, HOW MUCH CAN YOU STAND
WON'T SOMEONE TAKE THAT HEAVY LOAD
FROM YOUR HANDS
SEEMS LIKE NOBODY CARES
ABOUT YOUR SUFFERING AND ALL THAT YOU BEAR
ALWAYS THE ONE TO TAKE THE FALL
OH, MY GOD, YOU MUST BE TIRED AND WORN
THE BURDEN OF ALL THAT SIN
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE NEVER GONNA WIN

IF NOT FOR THE DEVIL
THEN WHO SHOULD WE BLAME
FOR LIES AND CORRUPTION
A WORLD GONE INSANE
NO ONE TO TURN TO
AND NO ONE TO SHAME
IF NOT FOR THE DEVIL
WHAT WOULD WE PROCLAIM

WHAT A WAY THEY TREAT A BEST FRIEND
AFTER EVERYTHING YOU DONE
LET'S NOT DENY
YOU MADE THEIR LIVING
AND KEPT THEM IN BUSINESS SO LONG
EVERY TIME WE CROSS THE LINE
WE WONDER WHEN IT'S PAYBACK TIME
BUT THERE'S NO NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES
OUR SCAPEGOAT LIES IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL

REPEAT CHORUS

OH, MY SOUL IS CRYING FOR YOU

OH, FALLEN ONE
IF NOT FOR THE DEVIL
THERE WOULD BE NOWHERE TO RUN
NOWHERE TO HIDE

REPEAT CHORUS

OH, YOU'RE JUST A FALLEN ANGEL
CAST OUT OF HEAVEN
NO ONE CRIED WHEN YOU WERE FORSAKEN
NO ONE SHED A TEAR FOR YOU

INTO THE FIRE TO DWELL
TO BURN FOREVER IN HELL
