A Dance with the Devil
Oh, how I’ve always wanted the world in my hands.
Daydreams and the constant falling into trance,
a trance that I want to be stuck in forever
lost in the sway of a dance with the devil.
The words upon my tongue will do the trick.
Believe; give in receive what you ask. Nothing is free.
A price for a crown, flesh for a sin, a soul for glory.
All for the thrill of a dance with the devil.
Shake his hand and become his favorite pawn.
Kiss his feet and watch yourself rise beyond limits.
The world is not fair, I’m sure you know, oh my,
Turn up the music; dance with the devil.
You may think I’m bad, or either I’m just mad.
The truth is clear, you just haven’t seen it yet.
One step with the devil, and your fate is set
I’ll dance with the devil, no shame, no regret.
Every desire has its price. Every step in the dance pulls you deeper. Would you take the devil’s hand if he promised you the world?
This piece is about temptation, ambition, and the bargains we make with ourselves. Sometimes the dance feels worth it… until the music stops. We all dance with our own devils some call it ambition, some call it desire, some call it madness. Not every waltz is innocent. Not every partner wears wings. This is my ‘Dance with the Devil.’
So tell me… what’s your devil?
