Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dante came home with a scarred-up name
Boots in the mud, and a mind in flames
Been through hell and back, still he stands
With a shaking jaw and these battered hands
Heart got crushed in a rusted cage
Every good thing ripped off the page
Took a knife in the back, took a hit to the bone
Now he flinches at the sound when he’s all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
They kicked him down
When he hit the ground
But he’s still here
Still breathing now
Every shadow tries
To drag him under
He tastes the ash
Then rises up through thunder
[Chorus]
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
Not on Dante’s skin
Not in Dante’s sin
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
He’s broken, but he’s still in it
Devil can’t win
[Verse 2]
Sleeps in pieces, wakes up hard
Old war dreams leave a brand-new scar
Cold sweat dripping through the sheets
Counting heartbeats in the dark that he can’t beat
Lost too much to ever pretend
Some wounds don’t close, they just learn to bend
But he won’t bow to the hands that took
What little light was left in the look
[Pre-Chorus]
They kicked him down
When he hit the ground
But he’s still here
Still breathing now
Every shadow tries
To drag him under
He tastes the ash
Then rises up through thunder
[Chorus]
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
Not on Dante’s skin
Not in Dante’s sin
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
He’s broken, but he’s still in it
Devil can’t win
[Bridge]
If the world wants blood
It can take his tears
He’s buried the pain
He’s buried the years
And if hell comes back
Let it come in close
He’s got one last breath
And he’s not letting go
[Final Chorus]
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
Not on Dante’s skin
Not in Dante’s sin
Devil can’t win
Devil can’t win
He’s broken, but he’s still in it
Devil can’t win
