The Price

Yes, I danced with the devil And I never got away, there is no escape I played the game, although I believed it just But there was a price, now it’s over Exacted from me, stripped from my heart Now its paid I have earned this ending I have nothing to say I paid with another's life, a good life, a strong life Doubt I cannot have, my hand ensured my loss My exodus to a cause I felt right, to make good Ignoring my own, my loved ones Ensured my misery, a darkness for life So now I pay, a life taken from me Scant reward for my blindness, my acts But my children remain, small yet huge reward They were never part of the deal, innocent This part of life is bright, unsullied, for me the reason to continue A bright light at the end of this dance Now it’s all my loneliness... That’s my curse As I wander my tragedy and roam Aimlessly upon this earth. Like a knife in my back. Or a thorn in my side You broke me, fractured my truth Took part of my soul, you won 2014
