Deal With the Devil

You’re searching for a saviour In these hollow halls Blood staining your clothes Eyes as black as coal "Heaven help me" Says your unholy spirit You don’t know where darkness ends And where you begin. You are bitten, raw with pride As your bloody hands clench mine You promised me an empire once Have you forgotten that? You’ve travelled so deep into the darkness That you’ve perceived the moon as an illusion You can’t keep dancing with the devil And ask why you’re still in hell. You can’t defeat the demons You enjoy playing with.
