Deal With The Devil
[Verse 1] Well, I was down on my luck, but look who came, A slick suit, a sharp smile, and a whispering name, He said, "Kid, I can give you a life of delight, The world at your feet, the stars in your sight." [Pre-Chorus] A golden handshake, a promise so sweet, Fortune and fame, where the stars never sleep, But he’s got an offer, I can't turn it down— For all of the glory, I’ll own this town. [Chorus] He said, “Sign on the line, and I’ll give you it all, A palace, a fortune, a grand ballroom ball, Sell me your soul, it’s a price you can pay, The gold and the glory will never decay.” [Verse 2] Oh, the lights are so bright, and the crowds, they cheer, But there’s something inside me whispering near, “Is it worth the cost of my soul in the end? Will I fall or fly, or break and descend?” [Pre-Chorus] But the champagne’s flowing, the fame’s on my mind, The devil’s got me, I’m falling in line, A little temptation, oh, what a sweet sound, He’s giving me everything, I’m sold to the ground. [Chorus] He said, “Sign on the line, and I’ll give you it all, A palace, a fortune, a grand ballroom ball, Sell me your soul, it’s a price you can pay, The gold and the glory will never decay.” [Bridge] Oh, the devil’s in the details, and I see it clear, The fame’s like a drug, it’s all I hold dear, But at what price, does the truth disappear? When you dance with the devil, there’s no turning near. [Chorus] He said, “Sign on the line, and I’ll give you it all, A palace, a fortune, a grand ballroom ball, Sell me your soul, it’s a price you can pay, The gold and the glory will never decay.” [Outro] So here I am, dancing in the light, The devil’s deal was sweet, but the cost is a fight, Fortune and fame, they glitter and gleam, But at night, in my soul, I’m lost in the dream. [Outro] So here I am, dancing in the light, The devil’s deal was sweet, but the cost is a fight, Fortune and fame, they glitter and gleam, But at night, in my soul, I’m lost in the dream.

This song is absolutely captivating! The storytelling is so vivid—it feels like a modern-day Faustian tale, with its themes of temptation, fame, and the cost of selling your soul. The lyrics are sharp and poetic, and the melody perfectly captures the tension between glittering allure and inner turmoil. That bridge hits hard—“When you dance with the devil, there’s no turning near.” Such a powerful and thought-provoking piece! 🔥

Divine? Not in this place. We devils have standards, We could never stoop so high to get wings. 😈
