COME CLOSER

I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL

I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL

I danced with the Devil beneath the moon on an eerie starlit night

He sang to me about his woes and how he longed for forgiveness

His voice was alchemy to my ears, and filled my mind with wonder

He revealed his face unto the moon while choirs of angels serenaded

It was a haunting melody, so sorrowful and heart-rending

He sang of remorse for his sins, and poignant yearning for his King

Such blatant beauty overcame and stole away all sense of me

I begged for him to take my soul, I’d sacrifice my life for his

To give him freedom from his hell, his punishment for defying Him

There’s men on earth who’ve done much worse, I’ve seen and heard it for myself

If God is good, he’ll turn his cheek, and let me take hells fire instead

He’s paid his dues, so God take me, such majesty deserves redemption

But still he sings unto the moon, while I writhe and moan in rapture

I watch entranced as flowing locks erupt and flow towards me

I am ensnared in glowing hair, and fire and brimstone lightning

Embraced within, I laugh and grin, his radiance overwhelms me

Such a being can’t be bad, he’s marvellous and resplendent

Perhaps I’m wrong, but to me he’s shown, he’s just sad and complicated

How can God have been so wrong, I weep with hysterical laughter?

My mind explodes to devilish tones, while in madness I’m captivated

Yet still we dance, and still he sings, tormented in the flames of sin, eternally ever after.
