The Curse Backfired

I went to a witch 
Needed a curse on someone 
This woman was a crazy b**ch 
I hated this particular one 

She asked what curse I wanted performed 
I told her what my heart desired 
It was going to be done during a storm 
For that's what was required 

I accepted the deal 
She started mixing the ingredients in the stew 
Already, a change in myself, I could feel 
Something bad was going to happen before day was through                                                     
I couldn't believe this was real 
No more dealing with these two

The witch told me it would take place that night 
I had to go offer them the stew 
Do not get uptight 
Make sure you look happy, too 

That night I delivered the stew 
I knew it had been made thick 
Had to get this curse through 
I smiled while flicking my bic  

I sat and watched them eat their meal 
That change in me, I could feel all of a sudden, too 
I watched them both get on their knees and kneel 
I was the one who was cursed because I ate the wrong stew   
                                                        
I started to curse them and said 
You rotten crazy people 
You should have been dead 
You think you're safe because you attend a building with a steeple 

I started to feel my heart burn 
Like I was on fire 
They spoke very stern 
We knew us burning in hell was your desire 

I started to scream 
I was dying before their eyes 
Nothing they could do it seemed 
Here I was the one, that was cursed and now in hell I would fry 

My soul was sold to the devil 
That night 
I was on my way to hell 
There the devil was in sight 
Ringing just for me, hells bells. 

He said welcome to hell  
You'll burn here with me 
You dumb fool, your heart you did sell 
Now for eternity, here you'll be
