about

This FIRST SINGLE RELEASE of the upcoming EP "Love, Lies 'n' Leaving, Devils Curse is a stripped back, acoustic cry out to that loved one who is making all the wrong choices and heading down a path of destruction. Confessing their own weaknesses, Helen & Shannon plead for the listener to turn around to avoid “The Devils Path”. Featuring James Church (Montgomery Church) on Dobro, Devils Curse invokes the feeling of pleading for mercy upon a lost soul! You get the sense that Co-Writers Helen Townsend & Belle Harvey were sipping whiskey summoning Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings as they penned this story.

lyrics

I may not be the reverent kind
But I've had my share of hell
I may not be the honest kind
But I can honestly declare

THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU

I may not go to church on Sunday
Or repent my sins
I may not thank the Lord for food
Or bless the clothes I wear

THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE END OF YOU

Put to rest that demon voice
Calling you back in
The devil's got a path in mind
And he is winding you to hell

instrumental

I may not drink from the holy Grail
But I swallowed your lies
I may not kneel in the face of god
But god I know your kind

THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU

Put to rest that demon voice
Calling you back in
The devil's got a path in mind
And he is winding you to hell

I may not be the faithful kind
But I've had my share of hell
