The Devil's Gonna Keep Me Lyrics

	[ti:the devil's gonna keep me]
	[ar:oyinda]
	[al:]
[00:16.37]	The fruit that's plucked from the bitter tree is rotten old
[00:22.11]	You can find that seed sown deep in me
[00:31.13]	As a child I was taught to fear if it ever grows
[00:36.61]	So I get on my knees with a daily plea
[00:45.74]	Swallow me down and your throat will surely burn
[00:51.39]	These are the lessons I was made to learn
[01:00.76]	As I age it gets harder to resist his call
[01:06.46]	I tread lightly for if I ever fall
[01:13.56]	The devil's gonna keep me
[01:22.57]	A new love's fascination burns straight through my core
[01:28.44]	You send shivers when you touch my skin
[01:37.54]	I don't have the will to fight you anymore
[01:43.12]	So I take a bite cause I've given in
[01:52.28]	Carry me high in your arms – a sweetened embrace
[01:58.04]	We breathe harder, faster, a rhythmic pace
[02:06.99]	As I lay tangled up with you we stay here cloaked
[02:13.35]	I hear a whisper as the silence spoke
[02:19.83]	The devil's gonna keep me
[02:36.31]	Blood stained hands don't ever wash clean, wash clean
[02:42.25]	I try desperately but the stains stay seen
[02:51.21]	The fruit has fully grown and I can't bear its weight
[02:57.49]	So I dread the judgment I await
[03:06.08]	Bury me six feet underground alive or dead
[03:12.44]	Nothing can stop my fate that lies ahead
[03:20.69]	The time has come to reap the life I leave behind
[03:26.46]	In the end my soul is reassigned
[03:33.85]	The devil's gonna keep me
