It all came down from the highs
One dark cursed twisted night
David felt miserable and weak
He was feeling his mother's fatigue
The one Arthur's been giving her for fourteen weeks
Jackie had anxiety running in her veins
Her mental defect could come in play
When she would sense the devil's games
It drowned it out each time there was evil she felt
But that night evil was the only headline she read
Iris went to sleep with a heavy heart
Slept next to a husband who felt like a mile far
She prayed to God that something would change
Her marriage was at stake, and now her family could soon fail
She drifted off to sleep with her hands on her chest
Many thoughts on her mind but one wish for the best
She married man who ended up planting her in hell
And transformed into its people who had the devil as their friend
She woke up in her own house
She could feel it burn down and break
It was being hunted down by flames
She ran out to save
Her kids and her fate
She saw her husband burning up
Holding hands with his source of lust
She was a demon, she wanted to hunt
She killed him for some times of fun
She looked away and ran out of that place
She saved herself and the children she made
She saw their farm overtaken by flames
Hellish flames that lived in every house and now theirs
