The Devil and the Break of Day

By John Moore •
lying here with you
deep, serene
eternal blue
the warmth in our hearts
the hunger in our souls
but daylight sees our paths depart
the world demands its toll
surely it must be satan
who makes the world go round
daylight must be the devils creation
for here in the night
everything is alright
but the changing of the seasons
the breathing of the tides
cannot change
the way I feel inside
so though
darkness may go
and older still
we may grow
lets go dancing with the devil
in a city upon a hill
Giggling and chuckling
like a demonic jack and jill
I’ll play my upright fiddle
and play me back to you
I’ll write a righteous poem
and I’ll write my rights away
I’ll go riding in the night sky
Just so you
and I
can sing the devils music
that song called love
and is no possibility
of a breach in the contract
all of heaven’s angels
and all of our loved ones
won’t be able to bring us back
so now in the face of perpetuity
our beautiful tortured souls
will bind in eternal matrimony
in a place so hot and old
‘cause heaven’s a gated community
where all good people go
but it’s no way in hell
as fun what’s below
so let us joins hands
with 7 billion tortured souls
and we’ll sing the devil’s music
with our screaming bleeding throats
and we will
burn
hotter than the sun
and we will learn
to accept everyone
oh
there evil every one of us
by the clergy I’ve been told
but to our lord lucifer
we’ve sold our mortal souls
because at least he sees
the warmth in our hearts
and still he pays handsomely
for every rotten part
so we’ll sing
the devil’s music
and we’ll burn
the flames burn high
up in the night sky
and we rise
we rise above
above the horizon
a great big ball of hate
of hate
and love and pain
so my friends
my damn friends
we are the sun
we are the song
we are the ones who've faced our daemons
and had the sense
to strike up a deal
hand in hand
heart in mouth
sun in sky
we will die
everyone of us
so we burn
for all eternity
and bring about
that sulphuric rapture
and our warmth
radiates
the devil’s music
oh that song
that song
called love
so hot and bright
hold on tight
we will unite
under the doorframe
under a bridge
under a bus
on highway route 666
together in the bathtub
swallowed up by the sea
lets sail the styx
you, the devil in me
let’s take the leap
and go off the deep end
we’ve good thing going
and I’ve heard hell lasts
let us go
hand in hand
arm in arm
my dearest friend
