Down at the crossroads
The Devil proposed
An arduous game
To gamble your soul
How would you respond
Which choice would you make
Risk worth the reward
For a golden taste
Would you play the game
Challenging the odds
Finding any way
To triumph that day
Or
Would you call it quits
Run from the crossroads
Refusing to risk
Tormenting your soul
I’d look the Devil
Squarely in the eye
And take on the game
Knowing what’s at stake
Paradise is worth
A risky gamble
Without which, is life
Really worth living
