Lyrics
DEMONS
Mark Patterson © 2025
Although I might be the treacherous kind
I'm not looking for trouble to start
But get sideways with me and you'll find
We don't suffer fools in these parts
Call me a sinner all you want to
Lord knows I ain't no saint
But before the dream starts to haunt you
You'd better get one thing straight
Listen to me brother
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't give them the time of day
Turn a blind eye to the distraction
You're riding the high road today
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't let 'em strip your soul away
You don't want to be part of that madness
The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game
Call me a sinner all you want to
Lord knows I ain't no saint
But before the dream starts to haunt you
You'd better get one thing straight
Listen to me brother
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't give them the time of day
Turn a blind eye to the distraction
You're riding the high road today
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't let 'em strip your soul away
You don't want to be part of that madness
The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game
The backwoods prophet said when I was a boy
You're gonna see your share of darkness in life
Pick and choose which battles you join
And toe the line between virtue and vice
Call me a sinner all you want to
Lord knows I ain't no saint
But before the dream starts to haunt you
You'd better get one thing straight
You gotta listen to me brother
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't give them the time of day
Turn a blind eye to the distraction
You're riding the high road today
Don't give the demons satisfaction
Don't let 'em strip your soul away
You don't want to be part of that madness
The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game
The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game
Yeah the Devil runs the game
