At least I tried, but was caught in it’s domain, it’s lair, It was non other than Lucifer, in human form, but no hair, Just the two horns on his bald head, with a whip in his hand He pointed at me, but what he said, I couldn’t understand, I just stood there, and if I wouldn’t have been dead, I would Die over and over until the end of time, oh, if only I could.
