Shelly Verden - The Night You Took Me

In the still of the night
There is peace to those who claim it
But still in the night
The devil comes to those who name it

In the still of the night
My body feels no aching
But still in the night
You saw treasure for the taking

Did he speak to you say, child take this boy into your bed
Did he torture your desire, a parasitic cling in your head
Or did you let him in when you said to him I want what I see
Or was I dining with the devil the night you took me from me?

In the still of the night
A scavenger gathers what he owns
But still in the night
Has he surrendered to the repo man his body and his bones?

There is still in the night
He finds no peace though he claims it
In the still of the night
He runs and he runs and he runs til the devil comes

And he speaks to me says child, get that thought out of your head
You were tortured by desire, and now you're claiming regret
You all but let me in committed mortal sin
This is your doing, don't you see?
But still it seems as if I'm missing something
As if you took me from me
And so the reaper comes and the reaper goes
And he vanishes without a trace
Before I get the chance to ask him if I've sown the seeds of this shame and disgrace
In a moment as I feel that breath of yours linger in the air I breathe
I take no time to take off in the night the night that you took me from me
