Damon Elliott - Gazing At the Moonlight lyrics

[Hook] Gazing at the moonlight, Satan comes close to thee He says you can have everything if you leave your soul with me Oh na—na—naaah Gazing at the moonlight, the Devil comes close to me But mama told me never to talk to strangers [Verse 1] It's really hard to focus living in this world of sin All balled up in a corner is what I wanna curl up in Some pearls an' Benz, money to spend, girls who's a ten f** it baby, I promise I'll never hurt you again People fiend to be the best, not the best they can be I use to be the same way, I guess it's what Satan made of me It's somethin' like slavery the way Lucifer has us All this glamorous sh** we like, he'll use it to trap us Then he smiles as we run loose on his campus And dances circles around us and you think it's fabulous The glamorous, pay a price it's all hype, it's Satan But in the mean time sh** is all right Most people think the message I send you is stupid And y'all are gon' ignore it and just continue to do it But as long as I made an attempt to convince you this sh**'s cool The rest of your destiny is within you [Hook] Gazing at the moonlight, Satan comes close to thee He says you can have everything if you leave your soul with me Oh na—na—naaah Gazing at the moonlight, the Devil comes close to me But mama told me never to talk to strangers [Verse 2] I'd rather go broke than go and give my soul away My coldest day couldn't add up to Satan's prodigy He's tellin' me to jump, but I'm sayin' I don't obey They say your soul is not owned until your blood's on the page And he don't have to own your soul for you to do his dirt He's the master of ceremonies and that's why music works All it takes is one rapper to make it big then through him Satan will have the nation creatin' sin and he wins Then repeats the cycle over again For many generations the time is close to the end And all those times you were saying f** it You'll be hit with the day of judgement and burn as the Devil's naked puppet Take it as odd flows or take it as gospel, sh** I'm just speakin' the truth whether I make it or not, yo You don't have to love just don't ever hate And just know when Satan hear this [?] never be a better place [Hook] Gazing at the moonlight, Satan comes close to thee He says you can have everything if you leave your soul with me Oh na—na—naaah Gazing at the moonlight, the Devil comes close to me But mama told me never to talk to strangers [Verse 3] So many times I have fell in this trap I'm tellin' the facts, he makes it seem like hell isn't bad Till this day I still get influenced, and even though I know It's sinnin' I'm willin' to do it, my a** ain't even improvin' Cause it's so hard to stop what's been taught for so many years If I think about it too much I'll just be rollin' in tears Sometimes I think "Why am I here? Why do I feel Like I'd be runnin' in fear if ever the end was near?" It's like, sin is in so much of everyone's daily habits That we don't even know we do it whenever it happens Then it settles in like I should've never did that sh** I wanna enter the gate perfect rather than have this If you had to turn your test in today You think you would pa** it or would you rest in the flame? Who knows, there's only one way to find out And if you die now there's no turnin' back, it's your life pal [Hook] Gazing at the moonlight, Satan comes close to thee He says you can have everything if you leave your soul with me Oh na—na—naaah Gazing at the moonlight, the Devil comes close to me But mama told me never to talk to strangers
