Trading your soul

No claims for deed the devil’s own
No appeals of mercy be ever heard
For signed you have and signed you’ll be
A soul for a deed signed within a deed
Till Devil come and claimed what he
Had deed to you a time before
When needed you his intervening law
 
What was it you deed your soul
To exchange for what wasn’t yours
To keep, to cherish or to ever own
Was it a dying infant dear
To you and yours that emboldened you
Or was it a fair maiden, a beloved lover
That you traded your soul for?
 
Now crashing sounds of dark angels wings
Come to reap what had been sowed
In willing furrows of demented minds
Now ready for the eternal fire  
What had been scythed  
Now bundled in sheaves
Never more unbundled be
 
Worth the weigh  
That tipped the scales
Your soul you sold
For one you loved
Now loved no more  
For they had betrayed
Your sacrifice had come to nought
