Worse or Better Lyrics

Lit like a candle and we burned so bright, gods showed their faces and we rolled the dice
Dove to the bottom, drank so deep, blood black water put us straight to sleep
We prayed for rain and we turned our eyes to the clouds
When the sun came out, man, we screamed out loud

Night becomes the dawn, we were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long

The seeds that were planted grew over our heads, closed like a coffin to protect the dead
Struggled at the shackles, strained at the ropes, tried to untangle but there was no hope
Learning the steps made us weak instead of strong
Where wolves were many and the shadows long

We shall not part, so goes the song, we were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long

Forgot the clock and the time flew past, blindfolded and chained to the mast
Flew like a rocket, dropped like a stone, digging in the ground for a stranger's bones
Delivered our lines but our voices went unheard until the truth became the devils word

We shall not part, so goes the song, they were so right, they were so wrong
Worse or better looks like forever has come and gone

The Devil Makes Three is an Americana band from Santa Cruz, California, United States. The group blends bluegrass, old time, country, folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime music. The group's members are guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist Lucia Turino, and guitarist and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean.

“The rhythm is what our band is about." Says Pete Bernhard: Guitarist, Front Man. The Devil Makes Three are quite possibly the best band that you have never heard of. They have been constantly on tour, selling out dates across the country and in their neck of the woods on the West Coast drawing near capacity crowds nightly. This is all word of mouth. Over the years, the Devil Makes Three have garnered fans the old school way, playing a city, making friends, conquering fans and moving on.

Laced with elements of ragtime, blues, country, folk and rockabilly, the critically praised, drummer-less trio - consisting of Vermont native, guitarist/front man Pete Bernhard, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean, also of rural Vermont - brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music. The sound is deeply steeped in rhythm and alive with three part harmonies, while keeping a slightly punk aesthetic to their music and especially their live shows.

Note: the following songs belong to a different band with the same name, a small local metal band from Northern Ireland:
