Lyrics Run with the Devil - Symphony X

Run with the Devil

I’m on the run, nowhere to turn, they’re on my heels
Lost in the maze, where do I go?
Am I insane, it’s just a game of life and death
Stay the course and ride the flow
I cross the bridge, I’m at the gates
I’m out of breath, chasing the clock, I’m out of time
I hear the dogs, I feel the claws rake down my back
There’s no escape, no peace of mind
Oh — Just hold on
Oh — Just hold on
I’m on my way to you…
Run with the devil — run for your life
The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife
Chasing a shadow — still chasing a dream
When it’s ‘do or die', you know there’s no in between…
I see the fiends, they’re on the move, they strike with fear
Give them the slip, I duck the blade
I knuckle-down, I roll the dice, I dance with death
Lost in the realm of light and shade
My path is weak, it falls away, I feel the heat
The fires of hell beneath me rise
Caught in a trap, there’s no way out, walls closing in
Is this the hour of my demise?
Oh — Just hold on
Oh — Just hold on
I’m on my way to you…
Run with the devil — run for your life
The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife
Chasing a shadow — still chasing a dream
When it’s ‘do or die', you know there’s no in between…
I’ve searched the depths of hell to find the key
I’ve wasted time — now time has wasted me…
Run with the devil — run for your life
The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife
Chasing a shadow — still chasing a dream
When it’s ‘do or die', you know there’s no in between…
