Devil By My Side Lyrics

It's been a week since I almost died

Hospital bed, devil at my side

Pain so deep, like fire inside

I clenched my fists, I won't survive

He whispered low, just take my hand

I'll end it now, don't fight, don't stand

The air grew thick, my chest caved in

I felt the dark pull me within

I prayed to God—get him out of here

I laid in pain, like He didn't hear

Echoes of silence, drowning in fear

Where is my God? I needed Him

Lost in the dark, fading dim

Falling fast, no saving grace

Just the Devil staring at my face

The Devil grinned, Life ain't fair

You scream for Him, but He's not there

But deep inside, I felt a spark

A flicker cutting through the dark

Not a voice, not a saving light

No golden wings, no holy sight

Just a whisper: Hold your ground

The fight is yours—don't back down

God was there—but not how I dreamed

Not in the way that I'd believed

He let me fight, He let me bleed

Gave me the strength to not concede

I prayed for God—I thought He hid

But He was there—just not like I wished

Not to save, but to make me strong

To prove the Devil didn't belong

He didn't belong

I prayed for God—I thought He hid

But He was there—just not like I wished

Not to save, but to make me strong

To prove the Devil didn't belong

I roared in pain, I faced the beast

I gritted my teeth, he sank beneath

The darkness cracked, the fire burned

I still had breath—I had returned

I prayed for God—He gave me will

Not to escape, but to fight and kill

The fear, the doubt, the Devil's chains

I walked away—but I'm not the same

It's been a week since I almost died

The Devil left—but stays inside

Not in the dark, not in the flame

But in the scars that still remain
