If only I can see the light
That was promised to shine through
The devil on my shoulder
He now tells me what to do

I can’t stop the pull he brings
It’s stronger than me
How do I stop this devil
That has ruined my family.

He seems to be the only one
I can call upon
No one else stands with me
He is now my don!

He is now the head of my family
Controls this heart of mine
I lost control long ago
A mountain to high to climb

‘Come succumb to me’ he says
I will take your pain
Nothing pulls me in opposite direction
So I do what he says, life now in vain!
