No Escape Without Me

No Escape Without Me You cannot play with the Devil; if you don’t know how to elude it Yet you chained yourself to the demon; so you could feel the hit Go on tell me why you did it; if you did not want to feel the pain So a thousand words could be written - was it worth all the gain You are swirling into the darkness - soon there will be no release You gave your all to the Devil - now your soul he is out to fleece Created a perfect storm; can you cope with what you have made You’re soaring through the ratings; you’ve really made the grade A lesson to us all only those who are brave enough can succumb Thus; write the words that leave I the lesser man rendered dumb And I'm left lamenting here; wondering now if you will ever return So more words can be written, as on to the parchment they burn So I may wallow in your melancholy - then drawn into your space Stand in your shadow - forever humbled by your given held grace Here to take each chain you carry and give you the lightness back So righteous can prevail, with it return you from that cursed black Indiana Shaw . . .
