Down by the cross where the shadows lie, A young man stood, with fire in his eye. The devil appeared with a crooked grin, Said, "Make your wish, boy, I'll lock it in." Forever’s a promise, sharp as steel, But read the fine print in the devil’s deal. You’ll live forever, oh, that’s true, But the life you own won’t belong to you. He wanted time, no gray in his hair, A life unending without a care. But the devil’s words, they were slick with charm, He signed his soul, no sense of alarm. Forever’s a promise, sharp as steel, But read the fine print in the devil’s deal. You’ll live forever, oh, that’s true, But the life you own won’t belong to you. Every step he walks, the clock don’t move, Every word he speaks, he can’t improve. Bound to wander the earth, unseen, A ghost in flesh, a cursed machine. The young man roams where no one will tread, Alive in form, but his soul is dead. The demon laughs from his fiery throne, "Forever’s long when you’re all alone." Forever’s a promise, sharp as steel, But read the fine print in the devil’s deal. You’ll live forever, oh, that’s true, But the life you own won’t belong to you. So heed this warning, let it sink deep, The devil’s deals are never cheap. Forever’s a price no man can pay, At the crossroads, boy, best walk away.
