Der Auftakt des Albums: ein Tagebucheintrag an den Teufel, der jede Nacht zurückkehrt. Über Alpträume, verlorene Unschuld und den biblischen Krieg im eigenen Kopf.
Dear diary, the devil and I
We're dancing together, no alibi
I had nightmares that repeated, every single night
The innocence I lost, in the veils it hides
Just trying to fill a hole, that's grown too wide
When I wake up, it's a mess in my head
The energy's low, all the colors turn red
I promised myself I'd never go back
But the devil's in sheep's clothing, leading the attack
God, what a diabolical track
I want these feelings fucking out of me
The biblical war, a battle against him and me
Lord, give me strength for my own misery
Amen, but I can't repent
I'm too late, my spirit's spent
I prosper, I prevail, but the price is steep
In the hell I've built, where the angels weep
The devil and I, we prosper in pain
In the dark, where we both remain
Innocence is lost, but who's to blame?
In a world so cold, I can't be tamed
God, inspire me
Dear diary, I've been talking to ghosts
They reveal secrets, they brag and boast
In a place where hope and despair collide
I'm just drowning in the weight they send
And every choice leads to a bitter end
I want these feelings fucking out of me
The biblical war, a battle against him and me
Lord, give me strength for my own misery
Amen, but I can't repent
I'm too late, my spirit's spent
I prosper, I prevail, but the price is steep
In the hell I've built, where the angels weep
Lord, hear my prayer, I'm trapped
The devil's grip is tight, won't let me get away
But I'll fight like hell, just so you know
The nightmares return, it's all on repeat
The battle within, where the demons meet
I rise, I fall, I lose, I gain
I swear to God, I won't be slain
I want these feelings fucking out of me
This war's not over, can't you see?
Lord, give me strength for my own misery
Amen, but my faith is bent
I'm too lost, my soul's content
I stand, I fight, but the cost is deep
In this abyss I've made, where the angels sleep
