Will somebody hear me out Listen to what I have to say I speak about a secret crime That happens day to day He comes upon us from behind And right before us, boldy walks He searches for the idle minds And whispers evil thoughts (Chorus) He's not a thing that you can see Although he plays before our eyes He's watching over you and me His presence is denied Be wary of your idle mind The Devil's waiting He's been around since time began And strolls among our midst with ease I've seen him turn the best of men And bring them to their knees He ever lingers by our side And works around us, blending in In many men, he'll try to hide And say he is a friend (Chorus) (Bridge) If you're letting your heart wander Be assured he'll take you on He will try to tear you under Tell you that all hope is gone (Chorus)
