A Deal With The Devil
His voice was like an angelSoft and musical
Like a song long forgotten
Singing sweetly in my ear
His look was beauty
His eyes so dark
Skin like the color of sand
A smile to melt your soul
What was he asking?
I was lost in his eyes
A far away look he had
As if he had seen a long life for his years
An exchange he had on his mind
He offered me my dream
Everyone would listen he said
Everyone would love my words
They would come in crowds
Chanting my name for all to hear
Freezing outside
With my face on their chest
A look their way
A shout
A picture a signature
Is what they want
You can have it all
He sang in my ear
Just one thing I ask of you
When you die I will carry you away
A place not unlike this world
A place so warm you will never be cold
A place brimming with people like you
Come with me I will show you their faces
He took me to show after show
I saw them all
The names I knew
I had all their music
It sounded so good
What was I giving up after all
It was my dream come true
Yes I said I’ll take your exchange
A mark I will give you to seal the deal
Choose what you like there are so many
A scorpion on my neck is what I want
So be it his voice rang out
I saw the fire in his eyes now
But it was to late
I had made a deal
The mark was in place
