lyrics

See the spotlight around me, too much for you to stand
It was fun for the first time, but I won't fall for you again
I'm going day after day now and I'm all eyes and matted hair
Looking out in the mist I am searching in the air

Off in the distance, in falling snow
Choose between the whiteness and the devil that you know
Who sits beside you,
Who guides your hands,
Who whispers in your ear,
Let's play that game again tonight
I'm on fire tonight

I learned a lot from your dark side
You're all tied up, just cuz I can
Making true all the nightmares you told me that you have
I've said them before now, but I don't believe the words
You say I'm good at a bad game
Well that's nothing I haven't heard

Off in the distance, way down below
Choose between the blackness and the devil that you know
Who sits beside you,
Who guides your hands,
Who whispers in your ear,
Let's play that game game again tonight
I'm on fire tonight

Whispers in the darkess, footprints in the snow
There's nothing left between you and the devil
You know
He comes up to you, softly through the mist
Offers you his hands as he gives to you the final kiss
Tonight

Stay, stay, stay
Just try to stay away
You've been here before now and you say I should just behave
You should really just ask me
Get down on your knees and beg
In the end nothing matters, so why not play the game

Voyage
by Tanith

supported by 9 fans who also own “Devil That You Know”

Tanith continue dishing out distant castles in the sunset and glimmering spaceships in the deep dark. What I really enjoy about Tanith is they really got the memo to take inspiration from the exploratory and sometimes downright unusual rhythms and melodies of 70s bands, not just to ape their clothes or exact song structures. Tanith keep you dialed in to their songs, feeling that you are being taken on a journey and wondering what turns the journey will take. pinkytheent

In Another Time
by Tanith

supported by 8 fans who also own “Devil That You Know”

WHAT AN ALBUM, WHAT A DEBUT - of course, we should have seen it coming, since Tanith mambers are old hands at music business. Nostalgic, mellow heavy rock at its best with Cindy Maynard delivering some memorable vocals. MUST HAVE for lovers of Sanhedrin, Tower, Blood Star and the like. BoneWalker

Great sound. We can hear the (heavy) influence of Iron Maiden but this is a quality to me. :-) LDU
