Lyrics
📜 But there's always a price to pay when you make a deal with the Dark Lord, isn't there? What will he ask for in return for such magnificence? Tom's soul? 👻
Verse 1
Another rejection, sky's painted grey
Ex-wife's on the phone, more bills to pay
Forty-something, broke, future's a blur
This ain't the life I was hoping for, sir
Pockets are empty, options are few
Lucifer - Smooth, Whispering Vocals
Heard a dark whisper, "I've got plans for you."
Pre-Chorus
Down to the crossroads, midnight's dark chill
Got nothing to lose now, against my own will
Or maybe it's choice, a last, frantic plea
A shadow emerges, smiling at me (Yeah!)
Chorus
"Hey there, my friend, feeling down on your luck?
Tired of the struggle, stuck in the muck? (That's right!)
I see your desires, I feel your deep need
Riches and power, a guaranteed lead!"
Tom & Lucifer
"Just sign on the line, a world to embrace..."
Verse 2
"Forget all that debt, that lonely cold room
Imagine the finest, dispelling the gloom!
Respect and new love, the finest of wine (So sweet!)
The world as your oyster, it's all by design!
No more scraping by, no more begging or dread
A life of pure pleasure lies right up ahead!"
Pre-Chorus
"This sounds too perfect, what's the hidden cost?"
Lucifer - Smooth Chuckle, Reassuring Vocals
"A trifle, a whisper, nothing is lost!
Just a small token, a promise you make..."
Chorus
"Hey there, my friend, feeling down on your luck?
Tired of the struggle, stuck in the muck?"
"I see your desires, I feel your deep need
Riches and power, a guaranteed lead!
Just sign on the line, a world to embrace..."
Bridge
"The world will be yours, every glittering prize,
The envy of all reflected in their eyes.
Success and acclaim, all you've ever craved,"
(Spoken, Lucifer's voice deepens, almost a whisper)
"All that I ask for... is the soul you have saved.
A small price, isn't it? For dreams to come true?"
(Beat of silence)
Tom - Torn, hopeful but fearful whisper
"My soul...?"
Lucifer - Confident, Closing in Vocals
"So, what do you say? Is it a deal... for you?"
Chorus
"Hey there, my friend, feeling down on your luck? (No more!)"
Tom
"Tired of the struggle, stuck in the muck? (Forget it!)"
Tom & Lucifer
"I see your desires, I feel your deep need
Riches and power, a guaranteed lead!
Just sign on the line, a world to embrace!"
Outro
Lucifer - Sibilant Whisper
"It's done..."
Tom - Faint, echoing whisper
Wealth and the glory!
Lucifer - Chuckles
Power and pleasure!
Tom - Almost sobbing
What did it cost me?
