Demons
The Faction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The demons came from over the hills

To murder pillage rape and kill

their burly frames would instill fear to all of those who dare came near

Your stomach turns at the bloody sight
It's not a dream it's real life.
The demons are coming, they're flying on bats wings

the demons are coming they're making you say things

You're just a pawn in their game

The president knows the demons by name

I want to scream to let them know

Before they deal their final blow

Every country city and town

The demons us six feet down





Come be a pawn in our game.
