Devils Are All Here
Music & lyrics: Lorenzo Testa Dear friend I’m writing to you here from the depths of hellI don’t know how I got here but I’m after all quite wellYou just stayed at the entry and never went aheadI’ve been drunk, confused and dull and I fell down as a dumbIt’s not as bad as expected […]
