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
