the devil and the damage done

 
the keys to my soul jangled
the most vile spoke
my tongue scorched
I stood by and watched
demon blood lust infectious

a fire was lit
I watched while it burned
soon it was out of control

innocence was hurt
my eyes red with rage...cleared
it was too late the damage was done

I freed the beast
I couldn't call it back
it sought to devour all it touched
then it turned on me

I wrought its ferocity
paid for its sin
it was me
I was it

down in the pit we all look alike
tortured
