[Verse]
Devil on my left hand keeps holding tight
He whispers sweet lies in the dead of night
But my right hand's reaching
Oh Lord
For Your light
[Prechorus]
Evil's a river
It flows so smooth
Pain’s a mountain
I can’t seem to move
[Chorus]
I know what's right but wrong feels so good
I’d walk the straight line if my heart just could
Evil is easy
It’s a velvet chain
Living ain't living when it’s soaked in pain
[Verse 2]
Lost in the shadows where the cold winds bite
I see the cross but I can't find the fight
Oh
The devil grins when I lose my sight
[Bridge]
Fire's in his laughter
Ice is in my soul
I’m breaking apart but I still want to be whole
[Chorus]
I know what's right but wrong feels so good
I’d walk the straight line if my heart just could
Evil is easy
It’s a velvet chain
Living ain't living when it’s soaked in pain
