Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] I told myself I'd walk the holy trail But my boots kept slipping on every nail Promised I'd change Break free Take a stand Yet I danced the tune of the devil's band [Verse 2] I swore I'd be the dad they deserve to see But shadows of my past kept haunting me Tangled in webs I tried to disband While the devil kept lending his fiery hand [Chorus] Oh I played the fiddle in the dark of night Strings of regret echo with no light Promised the heavens I'd be a better man But the devil's song pulls like quicksand [Bridge] Temptation hums such a luscious tune Howling louder than the preacher's rune I meant to heal but I took the fall The fiddler laughs as his shadows crawl [Verse 3] I asked for a sign to break the chain Prayers in whispers while soaked in rain But deep within my trembling hand I heard the call of the devil's band [Chorus] Oh I played the fiddle in the dark of night Strings of regret echo with no light Promised the heavens I'd be a better man But the devil's song pulls like quicksand
