Sam, I Am

If I had a secret that I wanted to share with you 
Dare you open your mind and let my creativity ensue? 

I don’t build bridges with bricks, I hang them with rope 
I can generate your fantasies and incubate your hope 

Open the pages of my mind, reading the fiery words of my heart 
Enter Pandora’s Box, and the epic journey will start! 

Follow me down south, through the mirror of liquid glass 
You’ll feel the calmness take over and watch the fear pass 

What a wonderful feeling, letting your inhibitions go into the night 
Now step forward onto the phoenix, as you drift into the light 

This journey isn’t everlasting, you know that it comes with a price? 
What? Did you think it was free? wouldn't that have been nice 

Open your eyes from delusion, and friend you will piece things together 
My name is Sam, Satan or The devil, that’s how I'll been known as forever! 

OK, so I tricked you, with my words and devilish charm 
What were you expecting? I’m frigging Satan dude, my job is sadistic harm! 

You look at me with those puppy dog eyes, you realise you've lost all of your family ties 
My head tells me to give you a second chance, double or quits is where my desire lies 

Do you accept the new twist, on my board game that is your life? 
I’ll take that hesitant nod as a yes, and commence this game of strife 

Give me the name of a family member and they can take your place 
However I will warn you, if you can’t then I win this twisted race 

No! You scream, and that’s your final answer which I’ll have to take 
Now I own not only your soul, but your families when they next shall wake 

He took my hand and promised peace for my sisters and brothers 
Now I’ve gambled with the devil and he owns my beloved others 

The deal is now done and a fiery rain begins to fall 
Burning me down to ash, disintegrating my world and all
