Bad Deal

I gave my soul to the devil, way back when,  
Signed the deal with a trembling pen,  
Thought I’d found the key to everything,  
But I didn’t know the cost it would bring.

He promised me the world, and I took the bait,  
Now I’m living with a curse I can’t shake,  
I got everything I thought I’d need,  
But every victory planted a darker seed.


It was a good deal if you like to suffer,  
A twisted path where the shadows hover,  
Got what I wanted, but at what cost?  
Every gain felt like a loss.  
I’m haunted by dreams that turn to dust,  
In a world where nothing’s left to trust,  
Gave my soul to the devil, thought I’d won,  
But all I gained was the burning sun.


I climbed so high, touched the sky,  
But with every step, I knew it was a lie,  
Watched it all slip through my hands,  
Like grains of sand, slipping from the land.

Every time I reached the top,  
Something inside would make it stop,  
I lost sight of why I was here,  
Now I’m left with nothing but fear.


It was a good deal if you like to suffer,  
A twisted path where the shadows hover,  
Got what I wanted, but at what cost?  
Every gain felt like a loss.  
I’m haunted by dreams that turn to dust,  
In a world where nothing’s left to trust,  
Gave my soul to the devil, thought I’d won,  
But all I gained was the burning sun.


Now I’m walking through these flames,  
A life of regret, a game with no names,  
I see the ashes of what I once had,  
A hollow victory, making me mad.

The devil laughs as I crumble down,  
The king of a throne that wears no crown,  
Every joy, every win, turned to pain,  
In this endless, eternal rain.


It was a good deal if you like to suffer,  
A twisted path where the shadows hover,  
Got what I wanted, but at what cost?  
Every gain felt like a loss.  
I’m haunted by dreams that turn to dust,  
In a world where nothing’s left to trust,  
Gave my soul to the devil, thought I’d won,  
But all I gained was the burning sun.


So here I am, with nothing to show,  
For all the things I thought I’d know,  
The devil took more than I could see,  
Left me with nothing, just the ghost of me.  
I gave my soul to the devil, many years ago,  
Now I’m lost in the fire, with nowhere to go.
