Even the Devil wept for you
Crying molten rock cut from the moon
Because you were my whole world
But in time even galaxies dissolve
Even the Devil wept for me
Crying burnt charcoal as far as I can see
Because you were my burning flame
That fizzled out when the winds changed
And oh, can you hold me on this alter?
And oh, with a touch that never faulters?
Even the Devil wept for thee
On tears of his own faded mortality
Because we’re only human, mistakes are made
With no light in which our scars can fade
Even the Devil wept for us
Rubbing his eyes with shards of broken trust
Because I’m sharp but not sharp enough
To cut through these intangible handcuffs
And oh, can you hold me on this alter?
And oh, with a touch that never faulters?
And oh, would you drag me out of Hell?
And oh, if I promised not to dwell?
Even the Devil wept for you
Didn’t know what else to do
Evil can be easy to misconstrue
But even the Devil wept for you
