The Devil Sat Beside My Bed (Alt 1)
TitanChord
Smoke in the rafters, fire in my head…
Last night the devil sat beside my bed.
He lit a match with a grin so wide,
Said, “Boy, you’re mine, and you can’t hide.”
He poured the whiskey, I drank it down,
He laughed like thunder shaking the ground.
The devil sat beside my bed,
Whispered lies in the words he said.
Promised me power, promised me dread,
The devil sat beside my bed.
He showed me faces I thought were gone,
The men I buried, the sins I’ve done.
Said, “You ain’t cursed, you’re just my kin —
Danger lives where the soul gives in.”
The devil sat beside my bed,
Lit a fire where angels fled.
Branded my bones, my soul he bled,
The devil sat beside my bed.
I don’t kneel, I don’t pray,
I walk in the dark and I like it that way.
No heaven calls, no preacher led,
Just the devil sittin’ beside my bed.
The devil sat beside my bed,
Crowned me king of the lost instead.
Now danger’s the only blood I shed,
Since the devil sat beside my bed.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Smoke in the rafters, fire in my head… Last night the devil sat beside my bed.
He lit a match with a grin so wide, Said, “Boy, you’re mine, and you can’t hide.” He poured the whiskey, I drank it down, He laughed like thunder shaking the ground.
The devil sat beside my bed, Whispered lies in the words he said. Promised me power, promised me dread, The devil sat beside my bed.
He showed me faces I thought were gone, The men I buried, the sins I’ve done. Said, “You ain’t cursed, you’re just my kin — Danger lives where the soul gives in.”
The devil sat beside my bed, Lit a fire where angels fled. Branded my bones, my soul he bled, The devil sat beside my bed.
I don’t kneel, I don’t pray, I walk in the dark and I like it that way. No heaven calls, no preacher led, Just the devil sittin’ beside my bed.
The devil sat beside my bed, Crowned me king of the lost instead. Now danger’s the only blood I shed, Since the devil sat beside my bed.
