Lyrics
Devils Favor
They?ve done the devils favor Caught up in the fever of the path Anger or conviction Which one is stronger is a guess Hear the crack from the back of the woods The destination feels the brunt of the wounding We can only see the blame The rest of the party escapes from the view They?ve done the devils favor Caught up in the ego of the past Deluded or a moron Which one is stranger is a guess Hear the wail of the soft enablers They didn?t pull the trigger So they didn?t share a part of the wounding They can never see the cause and effect Locked up in ages of rationalizations Hear the crack from the back of the woods The destination feels the brunt of the wounding We can only see the blame The rest of the party escapes from the view They?ve done the devils
favor They?ve done the devils favor Caught up in the vision of the path
