The Sun Goes Down

(Lynott, Wharton)

There is a demon among us

Who soul belongs in hell

Sent here to redeem us

She knows it all too well

He comes and goes, he comes and goes

She knows it all too well

But when all is said and done

The sun goes down

She tries her best to leave him

But she is still capture by his spell

She knows now she must deceive him

He knows it all to well

She comes and goes, she comes and goes

He knows it all too well

But when all is said and done

The sun goes down

There is a demon within us

The sun goes down

She tries her best to deceive him

The sun goes down
