Sleep With the Devil
Doomshine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

displaced emotion on crucial days
claim for devotion just for God's sake
refuse and whine in doom

to sate the overlord is no evil thing
serve up your feeble horde, those something beings
between her thighs I rule
betray this worthless place
escape to meet your fate

sleep with me, angel
believe or decay
don't play with damnation
this price must be paid

darling of fortune, don't roll the dice
I'm not your bridegroom, I'm just your guide
lay down, bear up against pain

be brave and be my slave
come, bleed with lust and greed

sleep with me, angel
to shine is to stand
and juggling salvation
will not lend a hand

defense, lament, the sense, intense
intense the glance, revenge, condemned
the stand, the lamb
who's sent this gent ?




who's sent the end ?
the end...the end...

The song opens with the idea of displaced emotion and how individuals put all of their devotion into God's sake but eventually succumb to the dooms of life.

The chorus of the song further depicts a sense of temptation with an invitation to sleep with the devil. The verse suggests that this invitation comes with a price that must be paid, and believing or decaying from it is an individual's choice. The lyrics further suggest that the devil is a guide and not a bridegroom, and to bear up against the pain and come bleed with lust and greed is an act of bravery and being a slave.


Overall, the song is a representation of the constant conflict between good and evil and how sometimes the temptation of evil is alluring.
