I seen the Devil in the mirror, smilin’ like he proud of me,
Said he love my pain, he feed off every ounce of me,
I told that Angel on my shoulder “you the only sound in me,”
But even she been quiet, guess the silence start surroundin’ me.
I walk through shadows, I don’t fear what I can’t feel,
Death been stalkin’ me, but I move with cold steel,
Reaper in the rear, draggin’ chains through my dreams,
Lucifer laughin’, pullin’ strings from behind the scenes.
God lookin’ down like “boy, why you still doubting me?”
I said “I’m lost, Father, demons all crowdin’ me,”
The darkness call my name like a song that keep replayin’,
And every time I fight it, feels like faith decayin’.
I seen halos break, wings torn from grace,
I seen angels bleed when they fall from place,
I been touched by sin, baptized in pain,
Still I rise up slow through the smoke and rain.
These voices in my head don’t ever wanna sleep,
Every promise I make, the Devil try to keep,
The Grim Reaper watch me like he know the day,
He whisper “every sinner got a price to pay.”
But I’m built on scars, can’t erase my code,
I been cursed and blessed on this haunted road,
Lucifer tempted me with gold and fame,
But God taught me purpose can’t come from the chain.
Every tear that I shed is another rebirth,
Another lesson earned from the hell on Earth,
Angels guard my path though they tired and bruised,
They seen what I faced, they know what I’ve been through.
Death can’t claim me till my story complete,
I’m the echo of a war that refuse defeat,
If the Devil want smoke, he gon’ choke on fire,
‘Cause my soul still pure though I walk through wire.
Grim Reaper step close, say “boy, you survived too long,”
I said “life ain’t luck, it’s a battle in song,”
Lucifer smirked, but my spirit stood tall,
I been broken, yeah, but I still won it all.
God said “you ain’t done till your heart stop beatin’,”
So I keep writin’ verses where pain keep breathin’,
I seen angels and demons both weep for truth,
But the light in me stronger than the hate I knew.
Every step I take, I leave flames behind,
But I never let sin take control of my mind,
I’m the storm in between heaven’s tears and hell’s desire,
Livin’ proof that a soul can walk through fire.
