Once There Was a Demon

Once there was a demon
he ran towards me all the time

once there was a demon
he made all my evils mine

once there was demon
who drug me through the mud

once there was a demon
who corrupted all my love

once there was a demon
he stole my courage to hell

once their was a demon
sought to make my mind unwell

once I escaped a demon
he ran towards me all the time

[Ending 1]

but the demon caught me
Now I’m a demon in your mind

[Ending 2]

now I am your angel
to battle a demon that was mine
