Dragon wing Tortured laugh Blank book and Unlit candle I outmaneuver you to have My way with the treasure trove Glistening diamond, gold and wealth But it’s all just pretend I feel your coils around be, just as bright as the the rubies on the grail And your whispers in my ears “All is wellContinue reading “The Devil”
