The Devil's Mouth
Unveiling Desperation: Confronting the Devil's Mouth
Lyrics
You kept us all from staying with what we'd got
You prevented us from staying content with what we had
Not that much, but to us it was a lot
Though it may not have been much, to us, it meant a lot
Blood and bullets, bare hands and battered blades
Violence and conflict, using bare hands and damaged blades
One chance left for you to be unmade
There's only one opportunity left for you to be undone
In my hands, I hold the sharpened key
I possess a powerful tool, a metaphorical key
Life or pride, what's it gonna be?
Choosing between life and pride, a critical decision
Leave the world, as a man who never was
To leave the world not as a remembered man but as a monster
But a monster, clutching desperately to his claws
A monster desperately clinging to its claws
My last fight
This is my final struggle
Is real in my hands this time
Reality is tangible in my hands this time
The jaws of the devil's mouth are wide
The devil's mouth is wide open
And there's one tiny jewel of hope inside
Inside, there is a small glimmer of hope
Give him one last chance, and if he backs out
Offering a last chance, and if he retreats
I'll cut it right out of his roaring mouth
I'll forcibly extract it from his roaring mouth
Medicine giving me all I need
Medicine provides everything I need
In a burst of colour and a burning bleed
In a burst of color and a burning bleed
And we both wanted to accomplish what we must
We both aspired to achieve what was necessary
Falling down in the dust, it's the last of us
Falling down in the dust, signaling the end
In your eyes, I saw the living lost
In your eyes, I witnessed the living lost
Traitorous love, she'd been double crossed
Love betrayed, she had been deceived
Betraying knight, we'd believed
A knight we thought was loyal turned out to be treacherous
But survival wasn't a unified path I see
Survival did not follow a unified path
My last fight
This is my final struggle
Is real in my hands this time
Reality is tangible in my hands this time
The jaws of the devil's mouth are wide
The devil's mouth is wide open
And there's one tiny jewel of hope inside
Inside, there is a small glimmer of hope
Give him one last chance, and if he backs out
Offering a last chance, and if he retreats
I'll cut it right out of his roaring mouth
I'll forcibly extract it from his roaring mouth
Medicine giving me all I need
Medicine provides everything I need
In a burst of colour and a burning bleed
In a burst of color and a burning bleed
And we both wanted to accomplish what we must
We both aspired to achieve what was necessary
Falling down in the dust, it's the last of us
Falling down in the dust, signaling the end
The jaws of the devil's mouth are wide
The devil's mouth is wide open
And there's one tiny jewel of hope inside
Inside, there is a small glimmer of hope
Give him one last chance, and if he backs out
Offering a last chance, and if he retreats
I'll cut it right out of his roaring mouth
I'll forcibly extract it from his roaring mouth
Medicine giving me all I need
Medicine provides everything I need
In a burst of colour and a burning bleed
In a burst of color and a burning bleed
And we both wanted to accomplish what we must
We both aspired to achieve what was necessary
Falling down in the dust, it's the last of us
Falling down in the dust, signaling the end
A circus mirror, what I could have been
A distorted reflection of what I could have become
Is a thankful avoidance, but a messy scene
A grateful avoidance, but a chaotic situation
I'm up to my elbows in scarlet prose
Immersed in vivid and intense descriptions
It's a story of freedom, you were right, I suppose
A narrative of freedom, confirming your correctness
Medicine giving me all I need
Medicine provides everything I need
In a burst of colour and a burning bleed
In a burst of color and a burning bleed
And we both wanted to accomplish what we must
We both aspired to achieve what was necessary
Falling down in the dust, it's the last of us
Falling down in the dust, signaling the end
