A Compromise With the Devil

A compromise with the devil
I hear the devil knocking
On the doors of life 

His fruits were familiar
It was never with a light 

Instead it came to kill 
The light I carry in life 

So just like the apple of 
Life 

A compromise was made 
In exchange of freedom

Still the fruits of evil 
Bears no fruit 
Even when it looks 
Greats 

The devil is always evil 
And it compromise 
Equals death 

So will i live just to die hard
Even when I don't hold 
No evil on my hands 

Still the devil needs my soul 
Out from life
