All alone I fought the cause,
Up against the clock that studied me.
It's the life anonymous.
Trusted with the lives of us all,
I failed to see the flaws in the details I adored.
And played God,
I played God,
Played God.
Science lay his heavy head,
On the cold shoulder of consequence,
Rushed where angels dare not tread,
To force the hand of nature, accidents
Failed to see the flaws in the details I adored.
And played God,
I played God,
Played God.
Said: "Oh my God the devil's in the deal.
Oh lord, I just didn't look there."
We looked so long, we looked so hard,
I looked so hard and for so long.
Said: "Oh my God the devil's in the deal.
I tried so long, we looked so hard,
I tried so hard and for so long.
Said: "Oh the devil's in the detail.
The devil's in the detail."
