The Devil gave you a call
to invite you to a card game

He said, If you win
I will give you fortune and fame

If you loose
I will take all you have in you name

You told your concerned friends
You have mastered all card games

So you accepted the Devil’s invitation to His card game

Don’t gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose

Lady luck seemed to be on your side
for the cards seemed to be dealt in your favor

As the game played on
It seemed like the Devil was feeding His card right into your hand

Don’t gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose

The game was coming to a close
A smile on your face arose

Fore the whole game seemed to be played in your favor

The strange thing you noticed
The Devil didn’t show any remorse
of loosing the game in his behavior

Don’t gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose

When you both thew down your cards
Your jaw dropped down to your knees

For what did your eyes see ?
The Devil had the winning hand

A smile arose on his face
As he said
You thought you were going to beat the Devil
at his own game ?

You poor fool
You were only being deceived

Now pay me
what you owe me
Give me your soul
