Bargain of Shadows

Beneath a crimson sky…

A dying man heard a voice from the dark.

“Give me your soul…

And I’ll give you everything you ever wanted.”

But sometimes the greatest victory…

is knowing what you refuse to lose.

Blood on the ground, night getting colder,

Life slipping away, death on his shoulder.

Then from the darkness came a voice so smooth,

“Give me your soul, I’ll give you something to prove.

I can bring you back, make you rich, make you strong,

Give you every dream you felt you waited too long.

Power, immortality, everything you crave,

All you gotta do is let your soul get traded.”

He looked through the darkness, saw hell in his eyes,

A devil with a promise dressed up in disguise.

He thought about the life he still wanted to live,

All the love he still had, all the dreams he could give.

But somewhere in his heart, one truth remained—

What good is living if your soul gets chained?

I’d rather die with my soul still mine,

Than live forever underneath your lies.

You can take my riches, you can take my name,

But you’ll never own me, you’ll never take my flame.

I won’t sell my soul just to see another day,

I’d rather face death than let darkness have its way.

You offered me forever…

But forever ain’t worth the cost.

I chose my soul—

Even if I had to die and get lost.

The Devil smiled, said, “Fool, you could be a king,”

But the man stood tall though he could barely breathe.

“I’ve got something greater than the life you can give—

A soul untouched, and a reason to live.”

The shadows came rushing, the darkness drew near,

But faith stood stronger than the weight of fear.

Then suddenly—silence… the whole night froze,

He opened his eyes and the nightmare was gone.

No blood on his shirt, no wound in his chest,

He rose from the ground like he’d conquered death.

But he remembered the bargain, remembered the voice,

Remembered that eternity was born from a choice.

Now every step that he takes, every breath that he gives,

He knows real freedom is choosing how you live.

You can lose everything and still rise from the flame—

As long as you protect what the darkness can’t claim.

I’d rather die with my soul still mine,

Than live forever underneath your lies.

You can take my riches, you can take my name,

But you’ll never own me, you’ll never take my flame.

I won’t sell my soul just to see another day,

I’d rather face death than let darkness have its way.

You offered me forever…

But forever ain’t worth the cost.

I chose my soul—

And that’s the one thing the Devil never got.

The Devil can offer you everything…

except peace.

And sometimes the greatest bargain in life

is the one you refuse to make. So don’t sale yourself or soul
