EYES OF THE DEVIL

Story Behind The Song

Someone close to me once commented that his relationships didn't last because "something was wrong" with everyone he dated. I began to wonder if the problem was HIM and not THEM. This got me thinking about my own relationships...what if I AM the one to blame? What if the evil I saw in their eyes was only a reflection of my own less than noble intentions?

Lyrics

EYES OF THE DEVIL

I LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF THE DEVIL TONIGHT
A FOOL TO BELIEVE I WOULD BE ALRIGHT
I LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF THE DEVIL TONIGHT
BUT THE REFLECTION I SAW WAS ONLY MINE

COULD IT BE THAT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOVE
WAS ONLY THE SPECTER OF LUST IN THIS HEART OF MINE
NAKED AND LONELY AND BROKEN HEARTED
WE WERE LOSERS BEFORE WE STARTED

LIKE A BIBLE SALESMAN KNOCKIN' ON THE DEVIL'S DOOR
IS THIS LOVE OR IS IT WAR

MY SOUL NEARLY DIED
I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE
SO I HEARD HER CRY
PRISONERS OF A WAR FOUGHT IN OUR OWN MINDS

COULD IT BE THAT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOVE
WAS ONLY THE SPECTER OF LUST IN THIS HEART OF MINE
NAKED AND LONELY AND BROKEN HEARTED
WE WERE LOSERS BEFORE WE STARTED

LIKE A BIBLE SALESMAN KNOCKIN' ON THE DEVIL'S DOOR
COULD THIS BE LOVE OR IS IT WAR

BRIDGE
PEOPLE HAVE A WAY OF SEEING SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
FACELESS GHOSTS OF THE DEMONS WE HIDE INSIDE
WE ALL HAVE A WAY OF SEEING SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
BUT THEY'RE JUST GHOSTS OF THE DEMONS WE HIDE BEHIND

I LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF THE DEVIL TONIGHT
I LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF THE DEVIL TONIGHT
ETC.

Well put together. Sounds like there was a lot of attention paid to getting all the pieces together the right way. It sounds busy but not too busy. Great players. Solid recording.

Its been a long night - well worth waiting for.

when you listen to a song once,it has to be good to grab you.this one does,good beat and vibe,nice guitarwork and vocals.personally i find it hard to reveiw music,so its a bonus when its made easy.good work

Nice feel. A bit Santana like (at least the intro - that is probably all). Very original vocal tone. I believe it is good that intro is catchy as listeners tend to "tune out" if not. Good guitar tone as well

Enjoyed the feel of this track. Bit of a Carlos Santana vibe ? Well done !
