DEVIL'S BALLAD

can hear the
muffled knell
from the bowels
of the well

hafta escape
the sound
don't wanna be
pulled down

into the 
bliss
of a dark
abyss

been there
before
already know
the score

only thing
i found
was Lucifer's
playground

gets up to
his old tricks
with spirit-stealing
lyrics

a seductive
melody
impossible
to flee

be swept off
your feet
once allusion
is complete

a demon
possession
in a two-step
lesseon

when you go
toe to toe
it's a deadly
tango

in Satan's
embrace
see a 
prince's face

he doesn't
wear horns
it's his soul
that's pit born

bodies
contort
as he pitches
his fork

a sinister
ride
with an
evil vibe

no rise
from the ash
when the spell
is cast

danced with the devil
and lived to tell
if you hear that tolling bell
better run like hell
