Στίχοι

They say the devil's in the details
Of every deal you make
But what they don't tell you is how sweet
Those terms and conditions taste
Crossroads at midnight, classic scene
Soul for sale, American dream
Standing there sweating, Bible in hand
Wondering if salvation's part of the plan
The serpent speaks sweetly, promises gold
Whispers of pleasures both new and old
"Sign here in blood" - oldest trick in the book
But desperate times deserve a second look
At what you'd sacrifice for one moment of peace
For the suffering and struggle to finally cease
For the pain in your body, the noise in your head
The voices reminding you you're better off dead
So you shake that clawed hand despite what you know
Despite Sunday sermons where they told you to go
In the opposite direction of the tempter's call
But heaven feels distant when you're about to fall
Every promise has a price
Every shortcut costs your soul
When you're dancing with the devil
He always leads the protocol
Devil's bargain, signed in blood
Thirty pieces of silver for a taste of love
Devil's bargain, heaven can wait
When hell offers answers and heaven says pray
Devil's bargain, don't read the fine print
Your soul's collateral for what he might grant
Devil's bargain, we've all been there
When desperation drowns out every prayer
Judas justified his betrayal with greed
Thirty silver pieces for the ultimate deed
Eve bit the apple for knowledge's sake
The forbidden fruit proved too sweet to forsake
Moses's people danced round golden calves
When the wait for salvation stretched too long by half
Even Jesus was tempted for forty long days
With kingdoms and riches if he'd change his ways
So who am I to think that I'd stand a chance
When prophets and saints fell under that trance
Of instant gratification, of pain wiped away
Of burdens lifted when there's hell to pay
The devil knows exactly what you want the most
Customizes temptation like a perfect host
Exploits every weakness, every crack in your faith
Every doubt in your mind becomes the perfect bait
They never tell you how good it feels at first
The immediate relief when the deal is done
The weight lifting off your tired shoulders
The problems disappearing one by one
They never warn you about the sweetness
Before the inevitable bitter aftertaste
They just preach about resistance
Never understanding the allure of surrender
THE DEVIL DOESN'T COME WITH HORNS AND A TAIL
HE COMES AS EVERYTHING YOU WANT WITHOUT FAIL
HE DOESN'T FORCE YOUR HAND, HE JUST SUGGESTS
THAT MAYBE GOD'S PLAN ISN'T REALLY THE BEST
HE OFFERS SHORTCUTS WHEN THE ROAD SEEMS LONG
COMFORT AND PLEASURE WHEN LIFE FEELS WRONG
BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE THE COST TOO GREAT
YOUR SOUL'S ALREADY ON HIS DINNER PLATE
Made my own deals at the crossroads of life
Chasing quick fixes for my internal strife
Substances promising escape from the pain
Choices offering sunshine instead of rain
Relationships toxic but feeling like home
Anything to avoid feeling so alone
The devil wears different masks for us all
Customized temptations designed for our fall
But here's what I learned when the bill came due
When the consequences arrived right on cue
When the pleasure faded and the pain returned
Multiplied sevenfold from the bridges I'd burned
No bargain is worth the cost of your soul
No temporary relief worth the permanent toll
No demon's deal can deliver what's real
Only steal what you have for what you think you feel
They say the devil's in the details
Of every deal you make
So read the fine print carefully
Before your soul's at stake.
