The Choice


Im not the one For which they send I’m the one Who caused all good to end. I’m not from heaven Nor from hell I’ll wrap you up In my evil spell. Ill do you good Then go away I’ll collect my payment Another day. The price is cheap I’ll play the role All it’ll cost Is just one soul. It doesn’t matter If it’s good or bad It’ll serve my purposes Happy or sad. Come now, Don’t run and hide You had the choice And you chose my side. It’s not my fault Don’t blame me You made the choice Don’t you see? The time has come Today’s the day Just give up Its time to pay. Don’t fight me You wont win Choosing me Was the ultimate sin. You should’ve picked life But instead you chose death You thought you got more But you really got less. Now you have nothing You’re not even whole You’ve given up life And I’ve taken your soul. So with nothing left, What do you know? You can’t trust anyone And you’ve got nowhere to go. Pack up your things And hit the road No one wants you here Just do as your told. Now here’s a lesson You must learn Learn it fast And you won’t burn. You have a choice And if you choose me, You’ll live a life Full of misery.
