If I Were The Devil Lyrics in English
(Verse 1)
If I were the devil, I’d wear a disguise,
A charming facade to deceive your eyes.
I’d whisper sweet nothings, manipulate your mind,
Leading you astray, leaving truth behind.
(Chorus)
Oh, if I were the devil, I’d sow seeds of doubt,
Spread fear and confusion, inside and out.
I’d twist your beliefs, make wrong seem right,
Blinding your vision with darkness and spite.
(Verse 2)
If I were the devil, I’d prey on your greed,
Promising riches, fulfilling every need.
I’d tempt you with power, corrupt your soul,
Leaving you empty, losing all control.
(Chorus)
Oh, if I were the devil, I’d sow seeds of doubt,
Spread fear and confusion, inside and out.
I’d twist your beliefs, make wrong seem right,
Blinding your vision with darkness and spite.
(Bridge)
But fear not, my friend, for there’s hope in the light,
In love and compassion, we’ll win this fight.
Together we’ll rise, united we’ll stand,
Defeating the devil, hand in hand.
(Verse 3)
If I were the devil, I’d foster division,
Creating hatred, causing endless collision.
I’d fuel the fires of anger and hate,
Tearing apart what once made us great.
(Chorus)
Oh, if I were the devil, I’d sow seeds of doubt,
Spread fear and confusion, inside and out.
I’d twist your beliefs, make wrong seem right,
Blinding your vision with darkness and spite.
(Outro)
But we’ll overcome, with truth as our guide,
In unity and love, we’ll cast evil aside.
For though the devil may try, we’ll never be swayed,
With faith as our armor, we’ll conquer the fray.
