~Devils Pawn~
~Devils Pawn~
Welcome to this place where all lost souls burn
And let me introduce you to the point of no return
I can hear you laughing now thinking this is funny
But it's 2000 degrees today and it is not even sunny
You ended up here for all your pages of hate
So you didn’t earn a key to pass the pearly gates
You may as well sit down we’ll be here for awhile
Let's take a look and see what's written in your file
It says at age 10 you were mean to the cat
When you were 11 you’d hit the dog with a bat
At the age of 12 you stabbed a kid with a pen
Your file is so thick I don't know where to begin
At 13 you stole a car and ran over a man
At 14 beat up someone and didn't give a damn
When you were 15 it says you nearly overdosed
Looks like at that point you became a living ghost
You were committed at 16 to a detention center
Yet your heart stayed colder than the dead of winter
Now let's jump ahead and see what else you’ve done
Seems at 21 you never left your house without a gun
At 22 you finally fired a shot that stole another life
A man with two children and a caring loving wife
You became an actor and the courtroom was your stage
So no one could see through all the colors of your rage
Forged your mask so well that you simply walked away
Then silently you laughed thinking that you didn’t pay
But you didn't feel the noose as it kept growing tighter
Now the story has been told and you're the only writer
Your file just gets worse so there’s no reason to go on
In the game of life you became the devils pawn
You threw your life away and put your soul up for sell
So let me be the first one here to welcome you to hell
