Verse 1)
I met the devil on a lonely road,
He smiled and said, “Boy, just drop your load.
You’ve been fighting long, come rest with me,
I’ll give you everything you want for free.”
He showed me money, power, fame,
Whispered softly, called my name.
Said, “Forget your scars, forget your pain,
Just wear my crown and bear my chain.”
(Pre-Chorus)
I looked him in the blood-red eyes,
Saw nothing there but endless lies.
I knew if I took one more step,
There’d be nothing left of who I am.
(Chorus)
I said, “Devil, let me go,
I’m done walking down this road.
You had my fear, you had my shame,
But you don’t own my soul today.
Your chains are breaking one by one,
Your darkness loses to the Son.
You can tempt me, you can try,
But I choose truth instead of lies.”
(Verse 2)
He laughed and said, “You’ll be back again,
Nobody escapes the weight of sin.”
I answered, “Maybe I still fall,
But now I know who hears my call.”
Every scar became a prayer,
Every burden left in the air.
The cross stood taller than my fear,
And I could finally see things clear.
(Bridge)
Devil: “You’re too broken, you’re too far gone.”
Me: “Grace has carried me all along.”
Devil: “You’re mine.”
Me: “No, not anymore.”
I turned around and closed that door.
(Final Chorus)
I said, “Devil, lose my name,
I’m no longer bound in chains.
My heart belongs to Heaven now,
I’m standing strong, I won’t bow down.
The battle’s hard, but hope remains,
Mercy washes all my stains.
You may roar, but you can’t win,
Because my King already did.”
(Outro)
The devil faded with the night,
As morning filled the sky with light.
I kept on walking, finally free,
No longer who I used to be
