All alone I fought the cause
Up against the clock that started me
It's the life anonymous
Trusted with the lives of all of usI failed to see the flaws in the details I adored
And played God, I played God, played GodScience lay its heavy head
On my cold shoulder of consequence
[Incomprehensible] dared not tread
Forced the hand of nature's accidentsFailed to see the flaws in the details I adorn
And played God, I played GodSaid, oh, my God, the devil's in the detail
No, Lord, I just didn't look there
We looked so long, we looked so hard
Looked so long, we looked so hardSaid, oh, my God, the devil's in the detail
Oh Lord, I just didn't look there
We looked so long, we looked so hard
We looked so hard and for so longSaid, oh, my God, the devil's in the detail
Oh God, I'm pretty sure we looked there
I tried so hard, for so long
I tried so hard and for so longSaid, oh, the devil's in the details
The devil's in the details, oh
