I made a deal with him, where I could not grow old
all my dreams realised, now my soul was sold
Fame power and influence, wealth beyond my dreams
tell me are all your dreams really what they seem

a sacrifice to one is not the same as to another
Satan said he was my best friend, just like a brother
the dark lord said to me, you'll be well looked after
what he never said, was intense pain forever

Tell me the cost of a soul
tell me now im the last to know
Tell me the cost of a soul
do I really wish to know

silently the prince of darkness watches over me
laughing at my naive way, how things are going to be
paint a pentagram, a circle on the floor
chanting, a room of darkness, a figure at the door

this was a serious lesson that I would have to learn
the only end in sight is to forever burn
the rules were not so clear when explained you see
just sign the dotted line and leave it all to me

Tell me the cost of a soul
tell me now im the last to know
Tell me the cost of a soul
do I really wish to know
