The Devil stands tall, chains in hand
A symbol of temptation, a guiding sand
He represents the lure of earthly desires
A guide to those who seek higher fires

But even he must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while The Devil offers earthly delights
The red bird shows us paths to new heights

So let us heed both, side by side
The Devil's temptation and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of the earthly and the divine
We'll find a path that's true and fine

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with The Devil and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might
