Confronting The Devil - James LaBrie, Matt Guillory, Mike Mangini

I look as though I’ve died

I loathe my life

I can’t believe my mind

Oh the pain

The pictures tell it all

Wretchedly depraved

Cast reason to the wind

Fires all I see

The mirror shattering

Someone avenge for me

The child who died inside

Water come over me

Until the flames subside

I see I see through you

The devil there

Consumed your bitter soul

And left destruction in it’s wake

Your eyes they tell me all

All the guilt you bear

My confidant and friend

You betrayed the trust

Smashed forever more

Someone avenge for me

The child who died inside

Water come over me

Until the flames subside

Venomous fury builds

Let’s hang the traitor high

You’re not alone in your sin

We’re all the same

But you didn’t break the chain

And rise above

Goodbye my friend

Moments such as this

Are what defines a man

When the curtains finally close

All we’re left with is blood

We must fight for the blood

There’s nothing else

More worth standing up for

I swam in the vengeance of

The child who died inside

Water came over me

But couldn’t still the knife

Until you feel my pain

You’ll never realize

Mercy wash over me

And grant me stay this night

It’s so unreal

The cruelty of fate

It’s so unreal

The sorrow of fate
