And the Devil Replied

To look into my eyes , 
Is to see a normal man , 
But try to understand me , 
Your soul will drown in the sea of sand , 

For I am nothing you could know , 
Nothing you have ever seen , 
It was I that took the Christ child , 
And did feast upon his screams , 

I care not for your life ,
Yet I hunger for your soul,
Forget not that I own the bridge , 
And your life is but a Toll .
