There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well He comes and goes, he comes and goes she knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes down
