Sacrifice
you can say whatever you want
I'll sell my soul to the devil
if only to protect the broken
maybe that makes me evil
using his power
but I ain't dumb
I know I'll burn up
when it's all said and done
but with each flame
is a life I'll save
picture me with a smile on my face
just know it cost me everything
I can be your hero
I can be your savior
I can hold up the world
I can get the girl
I can also be your sacrifice
the one to blame for all your pain
hurling insults my way
just know it cost me everything
I can still save my soul
with a crown of thorns
so let the bloodbath commence
to cleanse my palate
used to think there was a world
that would see my humanity
if only I showed my heart
when I did I was hurt
stabbed in the back, front
and everywhere else
but I don't care
I'll still pray on my knees
screaming God save them, not me
for I know there is no heaven I seek
I'll sell my soul to the devil
if only to protect the broken
maybe that makes me evil
using his power
but I ain't dumb
I know I'll burn up
when it's all said and done
but with each flame
is a life I'll save
picture me with a smile on my face
just know it cost me everything
I can be your hero
I can be your savior
I can hold up the world
I can get the girl
I can also be your sacrifice
the one to blame for all your pain
hurling insults my way
just know it cost me everything
I can still save my soul
with a crown of thorns
so let the bloodbath commence
to cleanse my palate
used to think there was a world
that would see my humanity
if only I showed my heart
when I did I was hurt
stabbed in the back, front
and everywhere else
but I don't care
I'll still pray on my knees
screaming God save them, not me
for I know there is no heaven I seek

Hi, I can save lives been with God as well, but particularly I like this poem because it expresses courage and strength, and you make evil sound exactly as it should, so much adventure in one write, and so sarific! Thank you

Perhaps we all sell our soul to the Devil.
Willing sacrifices trying to get our needs met.
But still he won't break me, even when I burn.
Regardless I know he has so much fun trying...
'just know it cost me everything' dying to live.
I can be the only sacrifice he will ever need.
the one to take all of the pain and suffering.
even if feeling 'cost me everything'.
