I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell

What a terrifying place
Left alone here in my head
Remember every last mistake
I can't forgive, I can't forget

But if I face my darkest days
Will I finally make my peace?
With the past I buried deep inside
The darkest part of me

No, I will not be defined
By the life I left behind
You're gonna see
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees

I'm face to face with the devil
I am not afraid
My life is worth the struggle
My scars are my warpaint
Face to face with the devil

Pray, it's not too late
My past will not define me
I'm face to face

I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell

No one ever held my hand
Always me against the world
At war with monsters in my head
Kept digging down till I hit gold

I'm not ashamed of who I was
You'll never take this fight from me
You'll see, I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees

I'm face to face with the devil
I am not afraid
My life is worth the struggle
My scars are my warpaint
Face to face with the devil
Pray, it's not too late
My past will not define me
I'm face to face

I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell

I was in such a dark place
Something had to change
So I faced it

I'm face to face with the devil
I am not afraid
My life is worth the struggle
My scars are my warpaint
Face to face with the devil
Pray, it's not too late
My past will not define me
I'm face to face

I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
