Nicht Faust

Met the devil
On a corner last night
I had no urge to fight
that sweet temptation
haunting pain
he promised me
on that cold day

I never knew what
once could be
i feel that fire
burn through me
my soul in terror
how i chose
to live this life
without repose

But now i know
that what i see
this hell i picked
gleefully
in that moment
it seemed right
and as i stand
i know i was right.
