Trick Of The Devil
Unveiling Life's Dance with Darkness: Trick Of The Devil by Trey Clarkson Band
Lyrics
I grew up unholy with crosses on the wall
I had a childhood surrounded by religious symbols, but it wasn't morally upright.
It ain't easy in the bible belt when you live outside the law
Living outside societal norms is challenging in a religious community.
Judgin eyes upon me saying all I do is sin
Facing judgment from others who accuse me of constant wrongdoing.
Do you think your gonna make it up to heaven when the man tries to pull in
Questioning the possibility of reaching heaven when faced with life's challenges.
Some say that the devils music got me that's a curse that doesn't go away
Some believe that my association with certain music is a permanent curse.
I guess the demons drew me in sold my soul just the same day
Feeling drawn to dark forces, making a pact with the devil.
Do you think that you're a rolling stone with your hand on a loaded gun
Questioning one's identity as either a rebel with a loaded gun or someone seeking a calm life.
Or do you dream of a life so still you could almost have fun
Dreaming of a tranquil life, possibly contrasting with a rebellious nature.
I have seen the light oh I've felt the sun on my face
Experiencing enlightenment and the warmth of positivity.
Been to the crossroads yea I've found my saving grace
Having faced crucial decisions and finding a source of salvation.
After all the best trick of the devil is to convince you he doesn't exist
Reflecting on the deceptive nature of the devil, convincing people of his non-existence.
Have you ever had a friend lift you up just to push you down again
Experiencing betrayal by a friend who lifts and then brings one down.
People call them lessons but I think I need a better lense
Viewing life's challenges as more than just lessons, needing a clearer perspective.
The winds are changing and you got a choice to make
Facing a critical choice as the winds of change blow.
Lady you know that we all have sinned don't act like your **** don't stank
Acknowledging human flaws and rejecting hypocrisy.
I have seen the light oh I've felt the sun on my face
Reiterating the experience of enlightenment and salvation.
Been to the crossroads yea I've found my saving grace
Revisiting the crossroads, emphasizing the importance of finding grace.
After all the best trick of the devil is to convince you he doesn't exist
Reaffirming the deceptive nature of the devil in convincing people of his non-existence.
I have seen the light oh I've felt the sun on my face
Recalling moments of enlightenment and warmth on the face.
Been to the crossroads yea I've found my saving grace
Stressing the significance of choices at life's crossroads and the discovery of grace.
After all the best trick of the devil is to convince you he doesn't exist
Repeating the idea that the devil's best trick is making people doubt his existence.
