Noonday Devil (Re-recording)

"Save your prayers. God is not here with us now
There is only the darkness here...and your death."

I swear this room is empty, but I can hear the voice
And eyes are crawling on me just like flies
Calling into question every thought and choice
Telling me that all I know is lies
Dejected and disgusted
I'm inclined to give it up
What’s the use? Why go on?
It all means nothing!

[Chorus] I'm starting to think I've been deceived
And there’s no reason to believe
And all has failed, there's no relief
The tempting whispered thoughts of the noonday devil!

Am I beyond redemption, sick beyond repair?
Is all this just a futile exercise?
If everything's a failure, then it's more than I can bear
To stumble on in search of some false pride
Tear me down, juice me up
Break my will and watch me fall
Wear me out, let me go
The flesh, the flesh is weak!
[Chorus]

No! I refuse!
No! I can do this!
No! I will fortify my will into an iron tower!

I'll put those thoughts out of my head
I won't be given up for dead
I'll focus on the road ahead
Get behind me now!
Faith deserts us all sometimes
When demons infiltrate our minds
But I'm not gonna lose this time
I’m going to break the back of the noonday devil!
