Silver Tongue Devil

(专辑： Esteem Driven Engine - 1996)

He was a silver tongue devil, standing there
He's waiting, he's waiting for a ride
Looking for a one way out of this town
And you know I couldn't let him down
So I asked him "how far?" he said "as far as you'll go"
No, I couldn't say no

It was a Thursday in September or December
The last thing I remember was the cloudless sky above

He said he saw a good friend die
I never thought to ask him why
I could have sworn I heard him say he knew who did it
I could have sworn I heard him say

We headed off into the dead air of the desert
To a place, to a place I've never known
He stared into the sun that shone above us
Then he smiled and spoke how good it was
Yet things change and they stay the same
Home sweet home

There was a stillness as the light set behind us
The last thing I remember was the laughter in my ears

Fearless yet fearful I stared into his eyes
And he grabbed my hand, and I started to fly
Ageless and timeless, I gave him control
He said "That's it, my friend, I own your soul."

I thought I heard him say
I thought I heard him say

He said he saw a good friend die
I never thought to ask him why
I could have sworn I heard him say he knew who did it
I could have sworn I heard him say

I could have sworn I heard him say
I could have sworn I heard him say
