Not long ago did I pray and dream For someting that finally came to me How was I to know the price of you That nothing's for free and I had to pay it thru But the devil came into my life And danced all around into the night He begged and pleaded for me to join him And offered me the mystery of you, the idea of sin The devil lit my angel wings on fire Dropped them down and promised me higher He dropped me next to you, took me by the hand Led me away from my soul, and then I danced I danced into the night and into your heart Not wanting to stop, not wanting to fall apart The devil danced right by my side and sent me higher Pushing me to keep up but I got lonely and tired For when you play the devil's game Nothing you remember is ever the same And when you play the devil's way No one is around til you've got it all payed The faster I danced, the farther I became into you And the further I went, the harder it was to remain true Soon I let everything go and down I went Right into the world I'd left twisted and bent And then I danced back into the light Where everything and its colors were right The mystery of you faded into devil flames And I watched without burning of regret and pain I was sent on a trip that led me thru mystery and time That led me to all unknown corners of my mind I've made it back without falling into the devil's soul And with enough to keep me complete and full But sometimes the devil visits with ideas of sin Asking me to dance back into his mind of ruins I always somehow manage to close the door Before I slip into his dream and ask for more
