Fire in the Night
from The Devil's Toil by Brian McGrath
lyrics
Oh the sea and the sky, and the burning rain
There's a fire in the night, oh nothing remains
And you never can tell when he'll be back again...
Oh, I
Born from the rubble, born from barren land
Drunk on the pain of the marked and damned
And you never can tell if he's enemy or friend...
Oh, I
Everywhere we've gone
Everything we've seen
On every living thing, The Devil's waiting to feed
And the curse of indifference will cut you inside
Leave you with nothing and nothing to hide
You never can tell when the best of you died
There's a fire in the night, oh nothing remains
And you never can tell when he'll be back again...
Oh, I
Born from the rubble, born from barren land
Drunk on the pain of the marked and damned
And you never can tell if he's enemy or friend...
Oh, I
Everywhere we've gone
Everything we've seen
On every living thing, The Devil's waiting to feed
And the curse of indifference will cut you inside
Leave you with nothing and nothing to hide
You never can tell when the best of you died
