Me and the devil,

walking side by side

Me, the eager follower

He, the patient guide

“Disobedience and arrogance!

Why, when you were His favourite?”

“Deviance and decadence!

Why, when you were His favourite?”

 

“Disobedience?”

The lightening flashed,

his dark eyes gleamed

“It was always the plan,

not bowing to the man”

 

“Arrogance?”

The thunder boomed,

his deep voice whispered

“It was always the humility,

my purity and his impurity”

 

“Deviance?”

The wind screamed,

his touch grew soft

“It was the one true path,

inviting His infinite wrath”

 

“Decadence?”

The sky wept,

his smile grew sad

“It was always the intention,

my love and my obsession”

 

I understand all,

I comprehend all,

The agony of love,

misunderstood and rejected

The burden of loyalty,

a soul, broken and dejected

 

Me and the devil,

walking side by side

Me, the eager follower

He, the patient guide
