[Intro — Female Vocal, Quiet and Haunting] I knew that sound. I knew that face. But someone else Was in his place. [Verse 1 — Female Vocal, Intimate] He came beneath a moonless sky, A shadow moving through the trees. My husband stepped into the yard And told the boys to stay with me. The horns, the wings, the watching eyes, A shape we thought we'd left behind. Piney raised his hands to fight. I felt another life inside. [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal, Rising] Beneath the fear, beneath the rage, A voice was reaching through the dark. I called to Piney, “Wait for me! There's someone underneath those scars.” [Chorus — Female Vocal, Powerful and Melodic] I saw the man inside the Devil, A light that hadn't faded yet. A voice beneath the wings and thunder, A name my love could not forget. Two souls tangled up together, One awake and one asleep. I couldn't pull their lives apart, But I could help him find his feet. I saw the man inside the Devil, And I would not let him go. [Verse 2 — Female Vocal, Reflective] When morning came, we learned his name. The man inside was Piney's friend. His old commander, Major Strike, Had found his way to us again. He'd brought his people home from battle. An explosion took his left eye. The Corps had sent him back to heal, But something found him in that time. [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal, Emotional] The Devil came and made his home. For so long, Conrad couldn't wake. I reached for him through all that darkness. He reached back with what strength remained. [Chorus — Female Vocal, Powerful and Melodic] I saw the man inside the Devil, A light that hadn't faded yet. A voice beneath the wings and thunder, A name my love could not forget. Two souls tangled up together, One awake and one asleep. I couldn't pull their lives apart, But I could help him find his feet. I saw the man inside the Devil, And I would not let him go. [Verse 3 — Female Vocal, Gentle and Determined] It didn't happen in a moment. We tried and failed and tried some more. Until one morning Conrad stood As himself beside our door. The daylight let him walk among us. At night, another face appeared. We learned to listen to them both, And found that both could find a home here. [Instrumental — Electric Violin and Atmospheric Synth] [Bridge — Female Vocal, Vulnerable and Growing] I searched for where their souls were joined. I tried to find a thread to free. But every path I followed led To two lives woven too deeply. Conrad said, “You don't have to fix it. I only wish that I could see What he gets up to when I sleep. What does the night keep back from me?” [Final Chorus — Female Vocal, Soaring and Hopeful] I saw the man inside the Devil, And helped him find the morning light. Now Conrad walks beside his brother, And Rad can find his place at night. Two souls tangled up together, Neither one erased or gone. I couldn't pull their lives apart, But I could help them both belong. I saw the man inside the Devil. Now our family knows them both. [Outro — Female Vocal, Soft] One finds his way beneath the sun. One wakes when evening falls. And when our boys come running home, There's room enough for all.
