the devil's praise

by Shawn 19 - Sagittarius

Once from heavin, now from hell 
I know your darkest secrates, I won't tell
I am the one that stands by your side when your not well
I will be there when death rings it's cold bell

In my work i take many forms 
I win you over with my evil charms
A serpant, snake, and yes even a nun
I know what it will take, and I get the job done
playing with mortal souls for fun 
I am the reason you run from the gun

I give you what you want
He gives you what you need
I am that force that fuels your greed
I give you fame 
Then i take it away 
I am the cause of your pain 
In your heart evil shall stay

To me your soul is not gold, mearly tin 
I take pleasur in your mortal sin
You call me by name
love, hate, future, fate to me it's all the same
Controlling your thoughts, knowing no remorce
There is nothing you can do, so just sit back and let evil take it's course

He grants you pleasure 
I give you pain 
You seek his love like some lost treasur 
But you wear my hatred like a bloody stain
My hatred fueling your sins, driving you criminally insaine from within

He will make you happy 
I'll  leave you askin why?
He will give you everything 
I will make you cry

Does evil exist only in the minds of mortal men 
Isn't evil somthing created by the pen
What happened to the time when your insanity was your only friend
To your wounds you continue to tend

Feeling so alone, locked away in your cell
Once from heavin, now from hell
What was it that drove you over the edge
What is it that controlls your head

I am just another victum
How come no one ever takes the time to know me
I am not really all bad
Just my good side people do not get to see
Why don't you think I cry when i see somthing sad 
Why is it that you put me down, just won't let me be

I am just another bussinesman 
I try to get my job done the best way that i can 
I deal with mortal souls
But i dare not take them befor deaths bell tolls

But now your end is near
Listen to my words, death is nothing to fear
When you great it, take my cold hand
I will lead you to the promis land

A place where no one is ever cold
A place where you will never grow old
A place where lookin differint is not a sin
A place different from anywhere else you may have been
A place glowing, red
Only way to get there is to wish you were dead

Once from heavin, now from hell 
I know your darkest secreats, I won't tell
I am the one that stands by your side when you are not well 
I will be there when death rings it's cold bell

Reason for writing:

    cause of people who are corupted by evil and see only greed and hate
