'The 13th Hour II'

'The 13th Hour II' x \,,/zjz
•It was in the 13th hour/when I spilled my name/written out in blood/sold my soul/its all the same/now this wasnt no joke/&I wasnt playing no game/the devil glared at me/with hells liars in his eyes/he said/you sure you want to do this son/cause you know/yourself is all you got~
••I took a deep breath/&I heaved a sigh/&I pricked my finger/&I crossed the T & I dotted my i/then I starred at that piece if paper/as it rolled itself up right before eyes/then the devil held it in his hand/&he said~
•••you can scream your songs/for as long as your alive/you can sing your little heart out/I dont care if it/crashes & dies/you can write till your hands falls off/that Id like to see/but when I say its over/youll be damned/&your soul will burn with me~
••••I left our secret meeting/his words had scarred my mind/but Id do anything for the ones I love/Ill even trade my life/I can hear his voice in the wind/it whispers thru the trees/your time is close/its shorter than you think/tick tock & burn with me~
•••••I cracked a smile/&shook my head/it was so much to take in/so insanely hard to believe/I just made a deal with the devil/I gave my soul away/all for a good deed/&fire rose beneath my feet/Lucifer was standing there/with evil on his face~
••••••you little shit/are you absurd/you thought you could pull one over on me/ the deal is off/bastard son/its turned to ash/its null & void/you broke a rule/he began to scream/his eyes bled out his skull/I cant take your soul/when bartered for a good deed~
•••••••he had one more thing to say/before the ground swallowed him down/& digested him away/I curse your life/pain till your day/Ill make sure youre empty/& all alone/Ill take everything & everyone/youre going to lose it all/like a ghost youll be invisible~
••••••••now Im not dead/&Im still here/but not alive/see those I would have died for/all those that I loved/they all turned their backs on me/deceived me & now theyve gone/I just tried to do a good thing/&for that Ill live & die alone/empty for the rest of time/its now/ 13:59~

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The original '13th Hour' was written in 2011/12 when I was playing for the band I finished my 16 yr tenor with. It was very similar for the most part. If it crawls out of the stacks of forgotten words I'll be sure to post it. \,,/zjz
