Devil Of Destruction

I never saw you comin'

But i knew that you'd arrived

You'd left a trail behind you

And not many men survived 

You devil of destruction 

You ain't gettin' hold of me

It's not that you're bad lookin'

I'm just satisfied and happy being free

You broke the hearts of many

You left them in a mess

No warning you were leaving

And no forwarding address

You devil of destruction 

You ain't gettin' hold of me

You might know where I'm livin'

But i ain't about to give to you no key

Well you didn't say goodbye

And you never heard their pleas 

You didn't blink an eye 

While they were begging on their knees

You devil of destruction 

You ain't gettin' hold of me

I'm not a man for fooling

And I promise you a fool I'll never be

You're flirting like a woman

I ain't falling for your charms

I'm not the kind of man

That's gonna wrap you in his arms

You devil of destruction

You ain't gettin' hold of me

You might look just like an angel

But that doesn't hide the devil that I see

If you persist in tryin'

You'd better stand in line and queue 

And someday you'll discover 

That I ain't the man for you

I'm the master of destruction

And i wrote the game you play

I cheat my way to winning 

And the losers are the ones who always pay

Hard To Find

I've always loved you darlin'

From the moment i first saw you

And those years we've spent together, have been kind

Yet in recent times i've needed you

Like lovers are supposed to do

But darlin' you've become so hard to find

That photograph upon the wall

Our wedding day in warm July 

You hold the piece of paper, that we signed 

The new ring you were wearing

Said our lives were planned for sharing

But darlin' you've become so hard to find

It seems the more i love you

The further you then drift away 

And here i am, just being left behind 

The promise that i made still true

Is one that wants to stay with you

But darlin' you've become so hard to find

Although you still remain here

I'm not so sure that's what you want

You never share those worries on your mind

I want so much to kiss you

To say how much i miss you

But darlin' you've become so hard to find

I long so much to kiss you...

Just to let you know, how much i miss you

They say a fool in love is often blind

But no matter what i say

You wouldn't hear my pleadin' anyway

As darlin' .... You've become so hard to find

If I Were To Fall

If i were to fall...

Would you reach out your hand?

Forgive me my sins 

Those against your command

Would you cut loose my binds?

That may tether, and hold

Redeeming my soul 

That i cheaply sold

If i were to fall...

Will my spirit rejoice?

In my final breath

Will you hear my voice?

If i changed my ways

And i saw you as lord

Would you then raise me up...

Or bring down your sword?

If i were to fall...

Would you spare me some time?

To untangle my thoughts

In this mad pantomime 

I will lift high my hand

So that you see me well

Unless you demand

That i fall into hell

If i were to fall...

Would you pity your son?

Who has carried your doubt 

When he shouldn't have done

If i was a fool...

I was blinded by truth

All i have asked

Was a sign of some proof 

If i were to fall...

On your summoning day

I fear if i crawl

That i might lose the way

In the dark empty void 

For souls beyond repair 

Would you banish your son

All alone in there?

If i were to fall...

Would you take hold my hand?

Deliver me strength 

In the hope i might stand

Would your angels then sing?

When a lost son returned

Or will they simply laugh loud

As his body burned

If i were to fall...

Would you shine me your light?

Make the dark disappear 

To show everything bright

If the stars are my path

Let their guide be precise 

So they lead to the door

Of your paradise
