This world can take you by the hand And tempt the soul of any man But you can choose your path There's two roads you can take One way is right and one is wrong The flesh is weak but love is strong And she's all I see Between the devil and me Chorus: The gates of hell swing open wide Invitin' me to stop inside I'll be your friend he calls Again, I know it's him The flames are spreadin' everywhere But through the smoke I see her there She's all I see Between the devil and me I hold her in my arms tonight So safe and warm I close my eyes And a cool breeze blows 'Cross our bodies in the dark Outside her reach is my concern Somewhere I know a fire burns And she's all I see Between the devil and me Chorus The gates of hell swing open wide Invitin' me to step inside She's all I see Between the devil and me
