The Devil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The devil, take me now
Before I'm ushered out
'Cause you are like me
But I can bleed
And I can die
But I can't hide
From you
Prisoners of course
Taken by force
To smother my streams
Tonight in my dreams
'Cause I can die
But I can't hide
The way is clear
Away from here
And you
