When the Devil Come
Soul's Battle: Confronting the Devil Within
Lyrics
No inception, not a sound
No beginning, absolute silence
Break or fault line in the ground
A disruption or fracture in the Earth's surface
When the devil come
Reference to the arrival of evil or negative forces
Idle hands in quiet peace
Idle hands symbolizing inactivity or vulnerability
Waiting for my soul to sleep
Awaiting the vulnerability of the soul during rest
When the devil come
Reiteration of the arrival of evil or negative forces
Pure deception painted clean
Deception presented in a pure and convincing manner
Vacant flesh in lucid dream
Empty physical form in a vivid dream state
When the devil come
Reiteration of the impact of the devil's arrival
When the devil come
Repetition, emphasizing the moment of the devil's arrival
Let my spirit breathe
Request for spiritual freedom when facing the devil
When the devil come
Reiteration of facing the devil and seeking protection
Lay me at your feet
Willingness to surrender and be guided when confronted
Come to me in shallow waters
Invoking a presence in shallow, uncertain circumstances
Hold me underneath
A plea to be held beneath the surface, submerged
When the devil come
Reiteration of facing the devil and its impact
All my world is burning lust
Describing a world consumed by intense desires
Every need there ever was
Acknowledging every possible need or desire
When the devil come
Reiteration of the impact of the devil's arrival
I will fold in seconds flat
Willingness to succumb quickly to negative influences
Throw my heart into the black
Metaphorically throwing one's heart into darkness
When the devil come
Reiteration of the impact of the devil's arrival
No inception, not a sound
Repetition of the initial state of no beginning or sound
Break or fault line in the ground
Reiteration of a disruption or fracture in the Earth's surface
When the devil come
Final repetition of the theme of the devil's arrival
