"The Devil In I" lyrics

"The Devil In I"

Undo these chains, my friend
I'll show you the rage I've hidden
Perish the Sacrament
Swallow, but nothing's forgiven
You and I can't decide which of us was taken for granted
Make amends, some of us are destined to be outlived

Step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

Under the words of men
Something is tempting the father
Where is your will, my friend?
Insatiates never even bother
You and I, wrong or right
Traded a lie for the leverage
In between the lens in light
You're not what you seem

Step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil
I'm not your Devil anymore

Your station is abandoned
Fooled you 'cause I know what you've done
Sensation, deprivation
You should've burned when you turned on everyone

So, step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
I know you'll find your answers in the end
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

So step inside, step inside
See the Devil in I
See the Devil in I

"The Devil in I" was released on August 24th, 2014, as the second single from Slipknot's 5th studio album, ".5: The Gray Chapter".
Percussionist Shawn Crahan said about the music video for "The Devil in I": "Basically, this video is about finding past devils, past things - becoming one with it and then doing away with it."
This fits in with the theme of the lyrics of "The Devil in I"; in an interview with Kerrang! magazine, frontman and lyricist Corey Taylor stated: "The Devil In I" [...] represents the war inside us individually, dealing with the depression that came after losing Paul [Gray], dealing with the anger, the guilt... just trying to get our hands around the grief process, and realizing that we have to let ourselves feel these feelings before we can move forward."
"The Devil in I" peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
