The Devil's Backyard

You run, you break away

You've won your life today

 

You call on the ones that inspired you

But someday you'll grow weary

 

You wear a mask when you pray

You say the words you cannot taste

 

Would you claim? Would you sell your soul?

In your objective will you still end up whole?

 

Just go and take the hearts of those who care about you

Sell them for madness, sell them for the poison that loves you

 

Forget about us,

just go and have fun as you wish to

 

You dance, you laugh

You drink, you have

A fabulous time in the devil's backyard
