The Devil You Can See by Human Act Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm finally heading home
Long roads are now gone
Don’t know if it was worth it
But who am I to question
The heat and the sun have always been above my head
Now I rest in the shadows only waiting for death
[Verse 1]
All my life I've been traveling all around this big desert
Trying to solve the mysteries of existence
The story you're about to hear is hard to tell
Because it's been a long time since I've scaped out from this hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Blood, war, crime is all I did
For a life God could never help me with
Feeling more confused
For a forbidden love I could never forgive
[Chorus]
Save me
From the darkness of this life I wish I hadn't seen
Fear me
For I am the devil you can see
[Verse 2]
My guarding angel has gone away too soon
Forced to live around the unknown
Learning and mastering the lessons of life
And then teaching bandits how to accomplish the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Could not help betraying
A deserter I became
Always being on the wrong side
Irony is sometimes part of life
[Chorus]
Save me
From the darkness of this life I wish I hadn't seen
Fear me
For I am the devil you can see
[Verse 3]
You don't know what I have faced in the time of my life
Battles I didn't know how to fight
Did I shake hands with the devil himself?
But it doesn't matter now, nice to meet you, welcome to hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that the enemy is dead
Killed by the love I couldn't have
My tale has come to an end
Life is too dangerous my friend
[Chorus]
Save me
From the darkness of this life I wish I hadn't seen
Fear me
For I am the devil you can see
I'm finally heading home
Long roads are now gone
Don’t know if it was worth it
But who am I to question
The heat and the sun have always been above my head
Now I rest in the shadows only waiting for death
[Verse 1]
All my life I've been traveling all around this big desert
Trying to solve the mysteries of existence
The story you're about to hear is hard to tell
Because it's been a long time since I've scaped out from this hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Blood, war, crime is all I did
For a life God could never help me with
Feeling more confused
For a forbidden love I could never forgive
[Chorus]
Save me
From the darkness of this life I wish I hadn't seen
Fear me
For I am the devil you can see
[Verse 2]
My guarding angel has gone away too soon
Forced to live around the unknown
Learning and mastering the lessons of life
And then teaching bandits how to accomplish the fight
[Pre-Chorus]

Always being on the wrong side
Irony is sometimes part of life
[Chorus]
Save me
From the darkness of this life I wish I hadn't seen

Fear me
For I am the devil you can see
