lyrics

David met the Devil in the desert
He left Jesus hanging on the cross
He rose up from disappointment
And found a new light in the sand.

A light that was brighter than the sun
A mystery easy to understand

He forgot every lesson
That took him his whole life to learn
Then he stepped down from the altar

David met the Devil, saw the light.

David met the Devil in the desert
Dressed up like a black thunder cloud
His hands were soft, but his eyes were black
His mouth was small but his voice was loud.

Never seen a light so bright before
Never felt this coolness in his soul
He gave himself a new name
And the rain started to fall
While the bright light just kept getting brighter

David met the Devil, saw the light.

Meanwhile in town
The neon signs are glowing
The motorbikes are roaring
And everybody is blind.

David met the Devil, saw the light.

Meanwhile in town
The crosses are on fire
Love flows through a wire
And everybody is blind.

David met the Devil in the desert
He left Jesus hanging on the cross
Nobody knows what happened
They found his body in the sand
And his soul was never found

David met the Devil, saw the light.
