The Devil Has Come

Into the darkness I slowly fell 
With an icy hand upon my chest, 
My soul a prisoner and trapped in a cell 
The Devil had answered my one request. 
For far too long I had wondered lost 
And strayed far from hopeful light, 
And yet these thoughts would have their cost 
To evolve my days to night.

I feel this monster deep inside me 
And yet I find I do not care, 
The Devil’s guidance may yet revive me 
And restore the ugly back to fare. 
But now I see the road is clearer 

And my soul is ready to embrace the night, 

The price is raised and becomes much dearer 

But the Devil’s words are always right. 

See here the tale of my dark possession 

And farewell from the mind I had before, 

His childish antics and petty intentions 

Are not welcome beyond this door. 

When troubled times demand a change 

Only the fools are left behind, 

Their souls detach and are now estranged 

The Devil has left them dumb and blind.
