[Verse]
Tommy Shaw stands tall in the firelight glow
A shadow grows long where the cold winds blow
The devil’s laugh echoes
It cuts through the air
Tommy grips his guitar
Sends up a prayer
[Chorus]
Save me from hell before it’s too late
Before the ground splits and swallows my fate
Save me from fire
From the devil’s own spell
Save me
Oh save me
Don’t let me take hell
[Verse 2]
Smoke rises high where the sinners all sing
The devil plays cards with a diamond ring
Tommy’s hands tremble but his heart stays strong
He sings out the truth in a world gone wrong
[Prechorus]
If heaven hears me
Send down the rain
Wash away darkness
Break these chains
[Chorus]
Save me from hell before it’s too late
Before the ground splits and swallows my fate
Save me from fire
From the devil’s own spell
Save me
Oh save me
Don’t let me take hell
[Bridge]
He’s a gambler
A liar
A thief of the night
But Tommy’s still swinging
Still ready to fight
The devil may grin
But his power will fade
When truth and a melody start to invade
