The Devil's Scheme


Hope

and the moment you went away

I fell to lust as a recovery for my heart

The devil looked me in the eyes

and by then I could feel the piercing burn

The devil's wraith breathing down the back of my neck

his tail collapsing every frail bone in my body

But God you opened my eyes

I can see again

you hold the truth

I drew the sword and cut through the sin that was holding me in

He held one last stand and in my hand the shield of faith

protected me

the one true God gave this to every one of us

Hope
