Lyrics written for a country style song, the personal fight against temptation from drugs and drink.....
What the devil has he keeps.... Mike Thomas 2015
Intro VERSE 1
I've been heading, to damnation
Searching for salvation
Everything I've sown, I've always reaped
From the fire, I hear him call
To us sinners, one and all
The one, I hope, I never, have to meet
CHORUS 1
Once more, chasing dragons
With another, drink or two
Can I find redemption?
Help me find, the truth
To the deaf, the gift of sound
The blind, the sight to see
Who can help, this tortured mind
What the devil has, he keeps
VERSE 2
Just one step, for mankind
Put footprints, on the moon
Eighty days, to sail the earth
In a big hot, air balloon
Built those seven wonders
Yet nowhere, can I find
How to move, these shadows
Where monsters, always hide
CHORUS 2
Once more, chasing dragons
With another, drink or two
Can I find redemption?
Help me find, the truth
To the deaf, the gift of sound
The blind, the sight to see
Who can help, this tortured mind
What the devil has, he keeps
BRIDGE
How fickle you and I
Sometimes strong, sometimes weak
In pools of thought, battles rage
Where peace, can never sleep
Is sanctuary, still out there?
Beyond, those gates of hell
In the far off, distance
When someone rings, a bell
CHORUS 3
Once more, chasing dragons
With another, drink or two
Can I find redemption?
Help me find, the truth
To the deaf, the gift of sound
The blind, the sight to see
Who can help, this tortured mind
What the devil has, he keeps
VERSE 3
A place, to rest my weary head
In the eye, of every storm
A shelter, for the lonely
Before I reach, the dawn
Tranquillity, for anyone
Love, and those who care
Where I can find, the answers
Too this, sinners, prayer
Final CHORUS 3
To the deaf, the gift of sound
The blind, the sight to see
Who can help, this tortured mind
What the devil has, he keeps
Who can help, this tortured mind
What the devil has, he keeps
