The Devil and Me

The devil came to me last night

Offered a future long and bright

A lottery win, a pot of gold

If to him my soul was sold

I listened to him for a while

Seeing behind his cunning smile

Fame and fortune he would give

A long and happy life to live

The only price I had to pay

Was to give my soul away

My soul he wants for his own sake

He could only receive he could not take

I stood and looked him in the eye

Beneath a stunning moonlight sky

You cannot have my soul today

It is not mine to give away
