Devastation X Lyrics

In the shadows of the night or a bright and shining day

The outcast on the bench or the star who makes the play

Coming from all around in all shapes and sizes

Their smiles and their frowns are well conceived disguises

So sleep with one eye open and keep a weapon close

Cause someone's blood is soaking and dripping from their clothes

Hear the whispers in the alley see the scratches on the wall

From the darkest depths of hell comes the horror you befall

Cause there's nowhere left to run and there's nowhere left to hide

Cause the butchers of the damned are coming for your hide

Not the monsters in your closet nor the one under your bed

Nothing quite compares to when the ropes around your neck

Were you followed down that alley adding scratches on the wall

In the San Francisco valley or spoken with southern drawl

Intentions may be sour a best childhood friend

Taken care of in an hour or enjoy the time they spend

Cause the wicked world is turning a force that cannot be stopped

While your cigarette is burning there's bodies being dropped

For the monsters they're among us hiding in plain sight

And if you are unlucky they might find you tonight

Cause there's nowhere left to run and there's nowhere left to hide

Cause the butchers of the damned are coming for your hide

Not the monsters in your closet nor the one under your bed

Nothing quite compares to when the ropes around your neck
