The Devil & Me

I watched as it crumbled Polished diamonds to dust. I watched as it turned Solid gold into rust. I watched as it closed The vacant eyes of a child. While people cried, I watched as it smiled. I watched as it turned Ice into flame. I watched as it left While I hid in shame. It came to take me In the night. But though I hid I wouldn't fight. He tried to take me; He pulled me under. It used it's might Like a God of thunder. My strength was gone. So the devil, he won. But my life had not ended, It had just begun. The devil and I; We fought once more, And ten years later, I won the war. Although right now, I'm dead you see, But the story lives on About the devil and me.
