Analysis of Devil in the mirror

Devil In The Mirror 1988 (Show low Az)



Looking at the Devil,
while staring in the mirror.
People say they've talked to
an angel,
whispering in your ear.
Walked through the fire,
heart full of fear.
Standing with the Devil,
my choice is very clear.
Silently he whispers
the end is very near.
But I'de give up everything
to be the Angel in your ear.
