[Verse]
He walked in shadows late at night
The whispers kept him from the light
The weight he bore
It broke his spine
A father lost
No warning sign
[Chorus]
I blame the devil
Took him away
Stole his laughter
Turned it to grey
If I could fight him
I’d take my stand
To pull my father from his damned hand
[Verse]
At twenty-one
My innocence died
The clock hands froze
The tears I cried
No final words
No last embrace
Just a cold void left in his place
[Chorus]
I blame the devil
Took him away
Stole his laughter
Turned it to grey
If I could fight him
I’d take my stand
To pull my father from his damned hand
[Bridge]
Is it wrong to scream into the silence
To shake my fists and curse the violence
A shadow looms
But I will fight
To bring his memory back to light
[Chorus]
I blame the devil
Took him away
Stole his laughter
Turned it to grey
But in my heart
I’ll take a stand
To hold his love safe in my hand
