New song lyrics for the Book of Immersion Volume 2 by Sarnia de la Mare 'I Saw the Devil'

Image
I am amazed that I managed to write a song this week with all that has been going on. The first chapter of the Book of Immersion Volume 2 will be released today and here are the lyrics for the song. I saw the devil again Stroking the folds of your brain He looked through your eyes with a sigh and said hi, it's me again I'm back in the game I saw love fail today Wretched in it's pain I saw the killer of hope He laughed in my face Said you are a joke I am the killer of love Then he took off his glove And the devil man said You taste so good When you're sad The best I ever had I saw the devil again He sat on your shoulder and said You're looking older And yet  you still haven't learned how to forget All we got left is us We're never getting off this bus Cos you court the devil And I filled his shoes You're yesterday's news But I'm still around Our bond is so sound Now I am the devil in you I am your only friend Let's go round again Fly Like a B...

He drove you?” Gabs’ tone suggested this was code for something deeply erotic. “Mmm,” Lydia replied, sipping her drink. “Manual.” The problem was, this was a lie. A big, juicy one. And now she had roughly twenty minutes to produce a man from thin air, or spend the weekend as that girl—the one ...
