Rolling With the Devil

Take a chance and roll the dice

A gamble with death may be nice

For if you win you get to live

Get to breath alone and on your own

But alas if you should fail he gets your soul to take home

So roll the dice with skeletal grip

Rattle your bones and take a spin

Just pray they you will win

Get a one a three or five

Cross your fingers that you survive 

The anticipation would kill if you weren't already dead

Get a two a for or six and you are off to see the fiery sticks

Watch the dice rolling slow

Giving you fate where you will go

When it lands, it's hard to tell

But it seems you are off to hell

Sounds like something I have read before. Nicely done.
