A hurt soul lingered upon me
With long black waves of hair
Her piercing black eyes stared fiercely
At me with such despair

She had markings on her body
There was one on her arm
That caught my eye quite rapidly
As if to bring alarm

It was an inverted black star
Like it had called my name
My attention did not draw far
As if it were in vain

Her angelic features rain down
On me like golden beams
Of radiant light during sundown
Or so to me it seems

I followed her down a black road
As the sun descended
Behind us light no longer glowed
Distantly a bird crowed

Filling my body with shivers
The sound crawled up my spine
Warning me of lurking dangers
Though she made it seem fine

She strode with such a confidence
And walked in a fast pace
With a demeanor for vengeance
Yet in her walk lived grace

Further we walked into darkness
Isolated from man
My eyesight narrowed with blindness
I felt like a dead man

The earth was like a corpse tonight
No longer this felt okay
Her body was far out of sight
I knew I'd gone astray

Now stuck in the midst of nowhere
By my lonesome I walked
I begin to chant a prayer
Feels like I'm being stalked

I turn 'round and gape at nothing
Only blackness and cold
Trapped in an abyss of haunting
In Satan's cruel threshold

I realize where I am at now
Trembling with fear I shake
Eager to escape fate somehow
Wishing that this is fake

I fall to my knees as they give
Seeking for forgiveness
Of sinful acts that I've outlived
My burning consciousness

Zoning back to memories
That I chose to forget
Now damning me with grim furies
Making sure I'll regret

The ground started to burn and crack
Fiery hell broke loose
I was the centre of attack
And I had no excuse

He threw his wrath upon my soul
My plea for mercy mute
My voice weak, I yearn for console
Aware he'll execute

His voice deep with love of hatred
Unearthly it did sound
And mimicked me as I waited
Echoed as it spun 'round

"I've been keeping note of you, Sir"
His words were loud and clear
There were no signs of his figure
Yet I knew he was near

"Satan have mercy on me, please"
Was all I could manage
Before my voice had cracked and seized
My words at a shortage

He told me "no need to worry,
Son, I'll make you a bet"
He'd release me of misery
And free me of my debt

If I brought him back a sinner
I was free to leave Hell
So my search began at dinner
Waiting for night to dwell
