Devils' Delight
Cruising through existence
Each minute counts the hour;
The present is the moment
For the future to devour.
Languishing in this eternity -
In the purgatory of the mind;
When looking for the answers
Beware of what you’ll find.
The demon has many faces
All of which are yours;
It delights in every weakness
And demolishes us in scores.
These devils dance in packs -
Partners withered at their feet;
The demons of our soul
Are hungry for the feast.
Crafty creatures of the dark,
Nimble nymphs of the night;
When earthly hopes are lost,
Beware the devils' delight.
