The Immortal ' A Soul Sold To The Devil ' Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

'I want to be immortal, I want eternity'
'And what's in it for me? '
'Take my money, my powers, take my kingdom far far beyond the sea!
Take my money, my powers, take my family! '

'All of these are useless, I am the Devil, can't thee see?
Only in thy soul, interested I might be;
But on one condition: thee have only a hundred years by three.'
'This is not a fair deal; but still I agree.'

'Then when rings the bell, I shall meet thou at the gates of hell;
Now away thee flee, as you have been granted immortality! '

'My Dear, I promise, forever I will be with thee:
I made a deal with the Devil, and my love will last endlessly.'
'But what did thee give him in return? ' asked she.
'Only my soul, and in the abyss I shall burn, unfortunately! '

Together they did wander
For forty years or more;
Through the times of spring, rain, and thunder,
Till war came knockin' down their peaceful door.

'Avenge her death! ' whispered Satan;
'Leave no man behind,
Destroy every living thing,
And by then, serenity, you shall find.'
