My Ultimate Price

What would you do, if it was asked of you Would you give up everything, or remain true Would you make the sacrifice? Chance your fate and roll the dice Sign away your life and morals Sitting back to rest on laurels No reward for any good you’ve done Knowing after this, you’ve lost, not won Such a brief moment of pleasure In trade for eternity of foul you cannot measure Could it possibly be a swap of worth With so many hours of good put in on this earth Yet now I put my wants ahead of need Lick my lips and prepare for my stupid greed Shake the hand, sign the contract Finalize our deal, mine and Satan’s pact You never know what will be your ultimate price You say you don’t have one? Heed my advice. Everyone does, and in it, he will revel That’s how I ended up in a deal with the devil That is my answer to life’s most notorious question And it’s a fact, just to mention That selling my soul is exactly how far I would go……….. for a Klondike bar. What would YOU do-O-o-O-o?
