Faustian Bargain
The selling of the soul
A conscious act
Surely well negotiated
Deliberate pact
But what if it could be
Accidentally made
For momentary glory
Or getting laid
The price too high
Small print too small
We've heard those excuses
We've heard them all
You sell your soul
When you cross the line
You always know
From the tingle in your spine
You are getting something
You are not owed
There's a price to pay
Your soul has new abode
Good old Faust
Knew how to strike a deal
The majority however
Barely trade for a meal
Listen to your language
When you say 'I wish'
You may get granted
A seat in the abyss
What would you do
For all you desire
Perhaps give some thought
To the eternal fire
The selling of the soul
So well thought through
Surely well negotiated
Silly little you...
