"Devil That You Know" lyrics

What my eyes were too blind to see
Was a pyre dipped in kerosene
Place that I chose to feed
Turns out the slaughter was meant for me

Risk is a resilient test
But it don't pay like all the rest
Some are just born the best
Hand stuck in a treasure chest

I've never been one for revelation
But I'm scared to death of damnation, I know
The people hold all the cards
And we're praying on the Queen of Hearts
But until you know the hand you show, when you're voting for
The devil that you know

Locked inside a sinner's tomb
And I don't expect I'll be out soon
Trapped by the wicked truth
Something that I had to choose

I've never been one for revelation
But I'm scared to death of damnation, I know
The people hold all the cards
And we're praying on the Queen of Hearts
But until you know the hand you show, when you're voting for
The devil that you know

I've never been one for revelation
But I'm scared to death of damnation, I know
The people hold all the cards
And we're praying on the Queen of Hearts
But until you know the hand you show, when you're voting for
The devil that you know
