The unknown fear that we sometimes bear

It's the devil that doesn't want us to hear

The voice that leads us to the best way

It's the devil that stops hope's ray

We try, try, try, and try

to escape from the devil's evil eye

He goes along to make you uncertain

He is the only one that drops a curtain

On your life, your hope, and your luck

Then the laziness makes you get stuck

Its the devil of cheating with greed

Yes, it engulfs some human breed

But the devil also works fine

As we drink a fresh and exotic wine

Devil gives us greed to succeed

Yes, the devil also works for a good deed

This devil makes us go through the tide

This devil is on the angel's side

People say greed is a sinful label

You can't reach height standing on a table

You need to grow; you need to thrive

Yes, this devil is on the angel's side

This devil works in both ways

It depends on us what we chase

Yes, the devil is good; the devil is bad

Yes, the devil works on what we had

It's the devil that works in God's ways

It's the way to test the human race

Devil is in you; the devil is in me

the bad devil needs to get free

Yes, the good devil is on the angel's side

As it makes us go on a sky ride

The good devil is on humanity's side

to strive, to grow, and to beat the tide.
