The Devil's Gonna Keep Me Lyrics - Oyinda

The fruit that's plucked from the bitter tree is rotten old 

You can find that seed sown deep in me 

As a child I was taught to fear if it ever grows 

So I get on my knees with a daily plea 

Swallow me down and your throat will surely burn 

These are the lessons I was made to learn 

As I age it gets harder to resist his call 

I tread lightly for if I ever fall 

The devil's gonna keep me 

A new love's fascination burns straight through my core 

You send shivers when you touch my skin 

I don't have the will to fight you anymore 

So I take a bite cause I've given in 

Carry me high in your arms -a sweetened embrace 

We breathe harder, faster, a rhythmic pace 

As I lay tangled up with you we stay here cloaked 

I hear a whisper as the silence spoke 

The devil's gonna keep me

Blood stained hands don't ever wash clean, wash clean 

I try desperately but the stains stay seen 

The fruit has fully grown and I can't bear its weight 

So I dread the judgment I await 

Bury me six feet underground alive or dead 

Nothing can stop my fate that lies ahead 

The time has come to reap the life I leave behind 

In the end my soul is reassigned 

The devil's gonna keep me
