Day 2 || SLOW THE DEVIL
“Hell is empty, all the devils run free”
I awake with a start. The nightmare dissolves instantly, except for a refrain, in my brain chanting, “Slow the devil, slow the devil down…”
A call to arms against the encroaching darkness. I can no longer be silent, I can no longer be still. It is a daunting journey, and I’ll go alone if I must, but I would welcome some company. Will you join me?

Behind The SCENES...

This song came to me in a dream. True story.
The first part of the video was filmed in Donut Falls- a partially frozen waterfall in a cave. The entire film crew skied or snowshoed to the location. I have a long history of becoming hypothermic during music videos shoots, including this one, and also those for “Born In The Desert”, “The Arsonist & The Thief”, and “Fallout”. I will suffer for my art. 😨 This is the closest thing to a protest song that I have ever written. |

What does the “devil” represent for you? 😈
It took me in the blink of an eye
My body empty, my soul undersigned
I’m captive, I watch them confess
To the devil in his Sunday best
I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance
I’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can…
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Every morning, feel you when I wake
Wash myself of your sins and shame
I can hear your hollow pointed lies
I can see it bloody in your eyes
We can’t stop him, we don’t stand a chance
We’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Hell is empty, the devils run free
The wicked in you knows the wicked in me
I dance, you dangle the strings
But I’ll be damned if I give you everything
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
My body empty, my soul undersigned

Maybe we can…
