He came up from the magma with a contract in his claw Thinking he’d met his equals, the men above the law And the men in their suits they promised to fulfill his goals To feed and to satisfy his greed for all human souls They told him it was "Synergy," they told him it was "Growth" They made him become their lobbyist and to swear a burning oath But he discovered much too late that the souls promised only became profit And his expected intake of innocents only turned into credit and debit When he looked into the mirror he just saw an own suit instead of skin Tricked by the men he had trusted, deadlier than any human sin He understood they lied about the payout, they faked the final score And he was just a pawn now in a global dirty shadow war Oh, the Devil sold his soul to the men in suite but met just lies He’s been played, he’s been cheated, he’s just the muscle for the board Now he’s staring at the ledger with hollow, burning eyes Doing dirty work for masters that he used to have ignored The Prince of Darkness has become Mammon's own slave He realized that he now had dug his own grave Chained to a desk in a world he helped create Sadly aware that this would be his final fate He used to be the rebel, the one who turned out the light Now he’s drafting spreadsheets in the middle of the night Oh, the Devil sold his soul to the men in suite but met just lies He’s been played, he’s been cheated, he’s just the muscle for the board Now he’s staring at the ledger with hollow, burning eyes Doing dirty work for masters that he used to have ignored Infinite growth... Infinite pain... The lies are humming in the Devil’s brain Oh, the Devil sold his soul to the men in suite but met just lies He’s been played, he’s been cheated, he’s just the muscle for the board Now he’s staring at the ledger with hollow, burning eyes Doing dirty work for masters that he used to have ignored
