When The Devil Comes Knocking
There’s a knock at the door and it’s the devil
The time has come for me to pay for my sins.
Judgement’s been passed by my creator
Now my soul’s eternal sentence shall begin
It’s not that I didn’t know this day
was coming
And I don’t have any great last words to say
Though I do despise the circumstances
Can’t say I regret a single day
There are those who look in from the outside
As they shake their heads slowly in disgust
Thinking they know all the answers
Saying I did what I did out of lust
But they don’t know of the sorrows
That had covered the depths of my soul
No , not one of them has understanding
How loneliness had taken it's toll
Yes - I reached out while I was drowning
And to my surprise she answered my plea
I crawled into the arms of her loving
And she breathed a new life into me
So now as I am lead down hell's hallways
To pay for the things I’ve done wrong
I’ll suffer my punishment in silence
But inside my soul lives her song
You see I know what it is to be lonely
Left alone to rot by myself
Wishing for someone to save me
From dying alone on the shelf
Yes it’s true, I get it, I was married.......
and on paper that changes all the rules
But belief marriage will end one’s heartache
Is a belief held by jokers, idiots and fools
I found it better to know new love in my life
Than to drown alone in my pain
It was better to sin and find joy once again
Than to let loneliness drive me insane
So now I walk down hell's long hallways
As I say my final goodbye
I’ve no last great words to leave you with
I’ll leave those for some other guy
Who thinks perhaps he has all the answers
To life’s questions riddles and task
But often those who speak up the loudest
Are those who talk through their ass
We all face our own separate challenges
Which we must overcome in order to get by
So before you start with your judgements
Remove that plank from your eye
Open your ears and hear with your heart
And a soul which is loving and kind
See things through the eyes of your neighbor
Leave your ridiculous judgement behind
