You are cordially invited to the most intense, emotional, physical, and mental game of your life.
So let me start by introducing myself.
My name is "Lucifer".
I am not of this world.
I coe in many shapes and forms.
Many have under estimated me!
So come into my world, if you dare.
But remember...
If you lose, I get your soul.
If you win ,your free to go.
The name of the game is called, "Sink Or Swim."
Are you ready to play?
Well then, let's begin.
Oh yeah, there is only one rule you must always follow..
Rule#1: There is no rules!
So let's see who wins, because now our game begins.
Pins and Needles,
Needles and Pins.
Left arm, right arm,
which one wins?
You'll feel a poke, now we're done.
And through your veins, I now do run.
They say, the first couple of times is fun.
But knowing me...  I'll keep you on the run!
Your now standing in a beautiful creek.
The water is luke warm.
But the longer you stand there, the more harm will come.
As you look around, you notice things.
For instance...
Just a few moments ago, Life had color.
It was also warm and sunny.
The creek has now become a slow moving river.
You feel your heart start to beat faster.
Your limbs, they feel shakey and weak.
Your now mine, and I've got this one beat!
Oh look, the water is up to your waist.
The river now raging at it's own pace.
Your head is so cluttered, you can't catch a thought.
See now your MY ADDICT....
OH HELL NO I'M NOT!
This mask I wear, I wear no more.
I'm walking through this open door.
As of now...
My life is mine, once agian.
You chose to Sink, and I chose to Swim.
So that means," I WIN!"
