This remote control is useless,
it won’t switch off the pain…
Eyes stare into blackness,
searching through the rain…
Forever in a deep dark sleep,
the haunting visions spread…
Eternal sadness yours to keep,
you chose the path ahead…
A deal with the Devil and
you thought you were wise…
A deal with the Devil and
now you’re trapped in his lies…
The Anti-Christ is dancing,
feasting on your soul…
The deal you struck was binding,
he’s now in full control…
He feels you’re pent up anger and
he knows you want revenge…
Searching for an answer and
mistakes you can’t avenge…
A deal with the Devil and
you knew what that implied…
A deal with the Devil and
your soul’s his Golden prize…
Fear engulfs and isolates,
rips your broken heart…
Eternal damnation now awaits,
As fallen angels tear you apart…
As the wolves have started howling,
they won’t give you a head start…
Your reality is now unravelling,
your life is falling apart…
A deal with the Devil and
now you act with surprise…
A deal with the Devil,
you shouldn’t have looked in his eyes…
Now you regret your choices,
but they felt right at the time…
Try to forget those voices,
That remind you of your crime…
Bolt the door inside your mind,
keep it forever closed…
Afraid to let the others find,
your nightmares totally exposed…
A deal with the Devil,
the serpent with snake eyes…
Can’t break a deal with the Devil,
so kneel before the lord of the flies…

Oh so dark and twisted – love it! And I really like the chorus-like repetition. It works great for this poem! ^^
It was originally written as a song for a local band – not sure it was ever used… Thanks – Cheers J
