I swear this room is empty But I can hear the voice And eyes are crawling on me just like flies Calling into question Every thought and choice Telling me that all I know is lies Dejected and disgusted, I'm inclined to give it up What's the use? Why go on? It all means nothing I'm starting to think I've been deceived And there's no reason to believe And all has failed, there's no relief The tempting whispered thoughts of the Noonday Devil Am I beyond redemption? Sick beyond repair? Is all this just a futile exercise? If everything's a failure Then it's more than I can bear To stumble on in search of some false prize Tear me down, use me up Break my will, and watch me fall Wear me out, let me go - the flesh…the flesh is weak No! I refuse No! I can do this No! I will fortify my will Into an iron tower I'll put those thoughts out of my head I won't be given up for dead I'll focus on the road ahead Get behind me now Faith deserts us all sometimes And demons infiltrate our minds But I'm not gonna lose this time I'm gonna break the back of the noonday devil
