Story Behind The Song
No cheating the devil
Stealing time from the reaper
Slow dancing with trouble
My serpentine creature
High stepping lies
Mocking your teacher
Fooling yourself
Watch the shadow of the preacher
CHORUS:
Fate ........................... Waiting Cold ............Cold beneath your feet
There's no give at the alter
Take and make your own
Out stalking midnight
Dawn chasing you home
CHORUS:
Fate ........................... Waiting Cold ............Cold beneath your feet

Lyrics
CHEATING THE DEVIL: © 2010 Timothy J. Martin
No cheating the devil
Stealing time from the reaper
Slow dancing with trouble
My serpentine creature
High stepping lies
Mocking your teacher
Fooling yourself
Watch the shadow of the preacher
CHORUS:
Fate ........................... Waiting Cold ............Cold beneath your feet
There's no give at the alter
Take and make your own
Out stalking midnight
Dawn chasing you home
CHORUS:
Fate ........................... Waiting Cold ............Cold beneath your feet
Keeping time moonshine
In love with your throne
No cares for tomorrow
Cheating the devil can't go on
CHORUS:
Fate ........................... Waiting
Cold .....................
Fate ........................... Waiting
Cold beneath your feet
