🎶 He doesn't use a pitchfork
He doesn't have a tail
He comes disguised as fear and lies
To remind you when you've failed
He doesn't wear a red suit
And he doesn't smell like smoke
He sneaks around 'til he finds your doubt
And that's where he makes his home 🎶
🎶 But when he comes for you
All you gotta do
Is take a look at the devil right square in the eye
And tell him I have believed you for the very last time

Devil, I know you've been lying to me
You do not define me
'Cause all of your power has been swept away
Your threats are as empty as Jesus grave
So, devil, go get behind me
You do not define me 🎶
 
🎶 But when he comes for you
All you gotta do
Is take a look at the devil right square in the eye
And tell him I have believed you for the very last time

Devil, I know you've been lying to me
You do not define me
'Cause all of your power has been swept away
Your threats are as empty as Jesus' grave
So, devil, go get behind me
You do not define me 🎶
🎶 He knows the ways we're different
Where we're tempted to choose a side
Takes the beauty in our diversity
And he'll use it to divide
And he'll split us over doctrine
Or the color of our skin
And when we fight with fear and hate, he's the only one who wins
But when he comes your way
Just put him in his place 🎶
 
🎶 ...One name above all names defines who I am, allows me to say that
I've got the victory over the enemy
One God above all gods, who knows who I am, and gives what I've got, and I've got authority to make the devil flee
So, look that devil square in the eye, saying devil, I'm so tired of your lies
No, you do not define me 🎶
 
🎶 I like your explosive temper
Don't mind all the goodbye letters
I see potential through your darkest thoughts
No one who wanders with a friend is lost
I like that you're pessimistic
I like that you're cold and cryptic
You're not the only one with walls so high
I get to prove that you are worth that climb 🎶
 
🎶 I'm sorry I've been distant, hope you know
These decibels are not in my control
I hate that I neglect who I love most
When these alarms start going off
And every fuse is 'bout to blow 🎶
 
🎶 So when they ask you, will you say who loved you first?
Or will you tell them I was there back at your worst?
'Cause I won't chase your love, darling, that would only make it hurt
But don't forget how hard I tried to make this work

If there's nothing left of who we are, I'll leave
But you're not making it easy
You got a story out of me
Now you don't even act like you need me
I hope you know that I am
I am more than the check in you're pocket
You can cash in when you wanna feel something
You could be a millionaire, but you won't have me 🎶
