The Devil Grins Songtext
von Lay Down Rotten

Drowning, swallowed by the sand
In the solitude of this cold embrace
Laughter wakes me, makes my skin crawl
Endless roughness, fear takes over
The shades of doubt start here again
Silence, outlast, panic and sorrow
Night is dawn, I am alone
The devil grins, my demons elude him
Into addiction, I hear them whisper
Bury the treasures, bury them deep
Of what once was and will never be
Scar the face, rip off the spirit
Take the life, for my time has come
I fail again


The devil grins, my demons elude him
Into addiction, I hear them whisper
Bore is enough, forever this night
Dead the dream, my flag is black
Inhale, the fire of temptation
Silent screams, repeat my despair
Yet there is no answer, waiting for the dawn
Exhale, the wisdom of distinction
Gone with the first rays of light
Gone with the first rays of light
The devil grins, my demons elude him
Into addiction, I hear them whisper
The devil grins and I smile back
Into addiction, into isolation
