Devils (Young Man, You Are Mine)

from LIGHT by Joseph and His Ghost

/

lyrics

When the rays through the trees
Threw themselves at me
I felt reborn, yet dismissed
For the devils I kissed
So sincere above the brow
They just possess me now
Always forcing me to play
And before bed they say
"Be it, your dismay
Young man, you are mine
But, wait
In due time
Some distant day
You will find
The rhyme
To keep us at bay"
And with such encouraging words...
With such encouraging words
I sang exactly what I heard
And watched their humongous heads
Float against the shore
Where they will discretely instead
Be plotting a new war
And it wasn't until then
That I could truly comprehend
There is always a war
Waiting to begin.
