The devil is in the details So I study every line There’s heathens in the mountains They think they’re worshiping divine I just can’t help but wonder How their worlds so deep intwined It keeps me from my slumber Maybe they’re just benign Yet somehow I feel this hunger Ravenous, empty malign Is there something deeper missing Is there something to their whine Is there malice in their prayers As they bow below their shrine does healthy faith fulfil their purpose Or does the dark pursue their minds I often think of them These heathens As they live their brainwashed lives Are they ever going to notice That they’ll never be free but confined Ideals and rules they keep them barred Like so many in the past Yes I may bare many a scar But it is I who will outlast The devil is in the details Or so I’m told a lot The devil is in the details You best beware his plots Many men have been led astray Many men’s minds have Rot I see the pain upon their face The machines of war do not The world will turn while many burn Sun up , rain or shine The night will forever remain and return   Saving so many from the heat of light Others won’t count themselves so lucky As the night yearns to consume their souls The darkness ensues The blackness will churn Many lose heart and cave Just to become forgotten lives Wiped a new by the rays of dawn Such a pity yet the sun must rise A new day of torment awaits Not always were things so sinister They’re getting worse but it’s not too late Mankind still has a card to play That card will decide it’s fate Will you be apart of the new world order Or will you guard the gates The war is coming like it or not This war decides our fate The devil is in the details But devils don’t decide our fate The devil is in the details It is time to stop playing it’s game The devil is in the details The devil is at our gates Don’t give the devil free reign Or you’ll never decide your own fate

The devil is in the details
The devil is in the details So I study every line There’s heathens in the mountains They think they’re worshiping divine I just can’t help but wonder How their worlds so deep intwined It keeps me from my slumber Maybe they’re just benign Yet somehow I feel this hunger Ravenous, empty malign Is there something deeper missing Is there something to their whine Is there malice in their prayers As they bow below their shrine does healthy faith fulfil their purpose Or does the dark pursue their minds I often think of them These heathens As they live their brainwashed lives Are they ever going to notice That they’ll never be free but confined Ideals and rules they keep them barred Like so many in the past Yes I may bare many a scar But it is I who will outlast The devil is in the details Or so I’m told a lot The devil is in the details You best beware his plots Many men have been led astray Many men’s minds have Rot I see the pain upon their face The machines of war do not The world will turn while many burn Sun up , rain or shine The night will forever remain and return   Saving so many from the heat of light Others won’t count themselves so lucky As the night yearns to consume their souls The darkness ensues The blackness will churn Many lose heart and cave Just to become forgotten lives Wiped a new by the rays of dawn Such a pity yet the sun must rise A new day of torment awaits Not always were things so sinister They’re getting worse but it’s not too late Mankind still has a card to play That card will decide it’s fate Will you be apart of the new world order Or will you guard the gates The war is coming like it or not This war decides our fate The devil is in the details But devils don’t decide our fate The devil is in the details It is time to stop playing it’s game The devil is in the details The devil is at our gates Don’t give the devil free reign Or you’ll never decide your own fate
