Selling your soul to the devil

You don't understand 

I don't think you will

I sold my soul to the devil once 

And for years 

I tasted luxury

I enjoyed convenience

But the emptiness only grew bigger

I was alive

But dead inside

The bad karma grew huge

I paid the price

For years

I paid in suffering

And rivers of tears

I'm not surprised you can't see

I couldn't see

For years

I wasted my life

And my precious soul

It is a miracle

That I was able to redeem myself

And retrieve my soul

From the claws of the devil

You won't understand 

I'm trying to spare you

The pain to come

When you realize

The mistake you're doing

I walked the path 

You so eagerly want to walk

I injured myself

Some of the wounds will never heal

And I feel

You will 

Go 

And do what I did

I wish you could listen 

With your heart

Put your intellect aside

And feel my words

Don't serve the devil

You'll never gain

You think you can 

Serve evil 

Yet win

No

I tell you again

Don't

Compromise 

Don't participate 

You can change things

Create

Something real

Don't serve this fake institution

Don't sell your values

Don't

It's prostitution 

I know

I was one of the prostitutes

I prostituted my mind

And heart

To greed

And empty ambition

I was a tool

In their hands

I can't still believe

I'm free

Yes

I'm finally free

I wish you let me spare you

What I've gone through

You will discover for yourself

The emptiness of your choice

The danger of compromise 

They're the devil

In disguise

I'm not talking bullshit

I've been there

I want you to be happy

But will you?

You will be part of the machine

That crushes us all

You'll pray for a fake god

You'll help the rich get richer

And the poor get poorer

And the oppressed get more oppressed

And the powerful get more powerful

Is this why you're here?

Why can't you hear

Me

Plead to you

Don't 

Don't

I've seen many choose 

To serve the gods of greed

And  loose

Their heart and soul

I said what I have to say

Go on your merry way

I wish you the best
