(Verse 1)
Crimson cloak and sulfur scent, a heart of coal, a deep intent
He saw her dancing in the light, a mortal star, a wondrous sight
He, the fallen, the dark lord, felt a pull he'd long ignored
A flicker, then a raging fire, a desperate, burning, dark desire
(Chorus)
The devil's in love, it's a twisted game, she whispers softly, calls his name
"Don't feel scared, it's not you, dear," her gentle words, a chilling fear
Not fear of her, not fear of loss, but fear of love, a heavy cross
He'd conquer worlds, command the night, but couldn't win her gentle light.
(Verse 2)
She spoke of sunshine, summer breeze, of gentle souls beneath the trees
Of loving hands and tender eyes, of whispered truths and soft replies
He watched her gaze, a distant gleam, reflecting back a lover's dream
A dream he knew he couldn't share, a paradise beyond compare.
(Chorus)
The devil's in love, it's a twisted game, she whispers softly, calls his name
"Don't feel scared, it's not you, dear," her gentle words, a chilling fear
Not fear of her, not fear of loss, but fear of love, a heavy cross
He'd conquer worlds, command the night, but couldn't win her gentle light.
(Bridge)
He offered power, earthly grace, a kingdom built in time and space
She laughed, a sound like silver bells, "Your gifts are grand, but love compels
A different path, a different way, a heart that chooses, come what may."
He knew then, with a bitter sting, his dark devotion meant nothing.
(Chorus)
The devil's in love, it's a twisted game, she whispers softly, calls his name
"Don't feel scared, it's not you, dear," her gentle words, a chilling fear
Not fear of her, not fear of loss, but fear of love, a heavy cross
He'd conquer worlds, command the night, but couldn't win her gentle light.
(Outro)
He turned away, a shadow vast, a lonely king, his moment passed
The embers glowed, a dying fire, the devil's love, a dark desire.
He walked into the endless night, and left her standing in the light.
