Devil

I made a deal with the devil He told me that he could make my troubles Disappear like vapors in the sun The one thing that he required Was my soul's red burning fire Willingly I played into his hand I watched my worries fade away I felt a new wind on my face And I came alive That was the moment I died I traded my whole existence For rocks and pebbles pretending That they were a batch of precious stones Now I'm hitched up to this wagon And I hear Lucifer laughing All of this feels like an awful joke My weary mind it turns and turns Reciting every song and verse Of who I've become My life feels over and done How long will I have to live with These old dreams and failed ambitions? I feel like Sisyphus on the hill Maybe I'm being dramatic Too focused on the old adage That says "He who hesitates is lost" I need help to steal away And hide out underneath God's grace With patience and faith I just can't open my eyes
