lyrics
I had a demon
I had a demon
Looked me right in the eyes
I could feel it
I could hear it
Scream bloody murder in my ears at night
Was unholy
It controlled me
Put the knife in my hand
Got me burnin
Got me yearnin
Almost killed a man
That's when he came in through the radio
Out like a banshee, burned like coal
He came in through the radio
He was the preacher of rock and roll
He's the preacher
He's the preacher and he saved my soul
He's my protector
And my savior
Cries when I feel pain
My instructor
Holy water
Bleeds so I won't stain
He's my bastion
When abandoned
Calms me from my rage
He's my champion
My companion
Frees me from my cage
Took my hunger
Made me stronger
Had me stand up tall
Made me careful
Little feral
Taught me not to fall
Made my sinning
And beginning
Feel like another man
Had me kiss her
Had me hold her
Like a bird in the hand
Took me down to the river
Set me down in the river
Washed my knife in the river
Washed my life in the river
I had a demon
Looked me right in the eyes
I could feel it
I could hear it
Scream bloody murder in my ears at night
Was unholy
It controlled me
Put the knife in my hand
Got me burnin
Got me yearnin
Almost killed a man
That's when he came in through the radio
Out like a banshee, burned like coal
He came in through the radio
He was the preacher of rock and roll
He's the preacher
He's the preacher and he saved my soul
He's my protector
And my savior
Cries when I feel pain
My instructor
Holy water
Bleeds so I won't stain
He's my bastion
When abandoned
Calms me from my rage
He's my champion
My companion
Frees me from my cage
Took my hunger
Made me stronger
Had me stand up tall
Made me careful
Little feral
Taught me not to fall
Made my sinning
And beginning
Feel like another man
Had me kiss her
Had me hold her
Like a bird in the hand
Took me down to the river
Set me down in the river
Washed my knife in the river
Washed my life in the river
