This is a dark song, more than likely referencing the vocalist’s (Phil Bozeman) struggle as a child. It is a powerful and chilling song where he talks about how his childhood formed him as an adult. He talks about how his childhood was a nightmare and eventually if he continues the path he has start...
[Verse 1]
In the night they call my name
The moon is my light to a greater side of hell
But I am already there
Collecting my childhood nightmares
[Refrain]
She's gone and I want to disappear, disappear
Take me away into the trees
I dread the sun to rise
Bury me so the night will never end
[Chorus]
They say don't walk to the darker side
But where the light shines, the devil is alive
I've seen hell through a child's eyes
And I know in time, the devil I will find
The devil I will find
[Verse 2]
In time, I will escape
But in this place my soul remains encased
The leaves have swallowed the sun
My heart has reached absolute zero
I have no one left
Even my shadow has died on me
[Refrain]
She's gone and I want to disappear, disappear
Take me away into the trees
I dread the sun to rise
Bury me so the night will never end
[Bridge]
Tear him from his mother's hands
Turn this young boy to a man
Don't you cry for him now
Tear him from his mother's hands
Turn this young boy to a man
Now his destiny's found
[Chorus]
Don't walk to the darker side
But where the light shines, the devil is alive
I've seen hell through a child's eyes
And I know in time, the devil I will find
The devil I will find
[Outro]
The devil is alive
The devil is alive
(The devil will find you)
The devil is alive
(It will find you)
The devil is alive
(The devil I will find)
The devil is alive
