The Devil's tracks

Be careful if you do,

For the devil watches,

And he’s waiting for you.

Hair like crimson,

Eyes of green,

A sharped tooth smile,

Like you’ve never seen

The girl walked forward,

Fear unknown,

Down the tracks,

To the devil’s home

Welcome, welcome,

Hissed the snake

Her body shivered,

Her legs did quake

Welcome to

My humble home

What are doing

All alone?

Eyes of emeralds,

Hair of night,

Her voice was quiet,

Full of fright

There’s a man,

I wish no more

Why I came

To your door

Scars he left

Pain I felt

Vengeance I seek

His turn to be dealt

Hear my plea,

Man of fire,

I want him to feel,

All my ire.

Hurt him as,

He has done me

So then my soul,

Can be free

So the devil heard

The young girl's cry,

Smile he did

A glimmer in his eye

Vengence is,

Yours to take

But a contract

We will make

Your soul,

To be set free,

In ten years time,

Will belong to me

Take my hand,

Shake it firm,

Then your back,

You will turn

You will see me no more,

Until your time,

When ten years pass,

And you hear the chime

Take my hand,

Be not afraid,

Our deal is done,

His death is made

And the devil’s hand

She did take,

Giving it a firm,

Solid shake

And the devil smiled

Eyes aglow

“Run home now,

Don’t be slow”

His fate is sealed,

Our contract done,

Your revenge,

Is to be won

Home the girl ran,

And the devil did grin,

For there’s a new child,

To fall into sin
