The Devil and the Break of Day, by John Moore Subscribe to rss feed for 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
