[Verse 1] Polished smiles and poison tongues Handshake deals with loaded guns Cheap cologne and paper crowns Kings of nothing, talking loud Fake applause in empty rooms Selling lies like cheap perfume I bite my tongue, I play along But I won’t forget what you are [Instrumental break] [Chorus] I dance with devils I shake their hands Smile for the camera Play their demands I walk through fire On broken levels If I want the throne I dance with devils [Verse 2] Gold plated words, rusted core They preach honor, wage their war Backroom whispers, double speak Strong in crowds but weak in truth I keep my cards against my chest Let them think they’re heaven-sent Every serpent has its day But I choose when I strike [Instrumental break] [Chorus] I dance with devils I hold my ground Feet in the circle But soul unbound They trade their morals For higher levels I keep my soul While I dance with devils [Bridge] I won’t become what I despise Won’t sell my name for borrowed lies Let them feast on hollow praise I survive these wicked plays [Guitar solo] [Final Chorus] I dance with devils But I don’t kneel I learn their patterns I sharpen steel You want the crown? Pay the rebels I keep my soul While I dance with devils
