The Devil’s Gonna Keep Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fruit that's plucked from the bitter tree is rotten old
You can find that seed sown deep in me
As a child I was taught to fear if it ever grows
So I get on my knees with a daily plea

[Chorus 1]
Swallow me down and your throat will surely burn
These are the lessons I was made to learn
As I age it gets harder to resist his call
I tread lightly for if I ever fall
The devil's gonna keep me

[Verse 2]
A new love's fascination burns straight through my core
You send shivers when you touch my skin
I don't have the will to fight you anymore
So I take a bite cause I've given in

[Chorus 2]
Carry me high in your arms – a sweetened embrace
We breathe harder, faster, a rhythmic pace
As I lay tangled up with you we stay here cloaked
I hear a whisper as the silence spoke
The devil's gonna keep me

[Verse 3]
Blood stained hands don't ever wash clean, wash clean
I try desperately but the stains stay seen
The fruit has fully grown and I can't bear its weight
So I dread the judgment I await

[Chorus 3]
Bury me six feet underground alive or dead
Nothing can stop my fate that lies ahead
The time has come to reap the life I leave behind
In the end my soul is reassigned
The devil's gonna keep me
