The Devil's Reach

by rlee

The devil he has reached for me and tried to take my soul
He plied me with contentment yet his hearts as black as coal
Yes he tempted me with riches he bespoke an easy path
However I was wary for I sensed the spell he cast
 
He had taken some before me those who slipped into the breach
Those who gave into his prattle and lived within his reach
No doubt I could have joined them so weakly in the night
But I looked beyond the darkness and I saw a brightened light
 
The light it called me strongly still the devil fast his reach
He would not give up easily he clung on like a leech
Yet I knew within my heart and soul that past that glowing light
Lay what life had meant for me a flame I must ignite
 
So I stood up to the devil and I spat him in the eye
The prince of darkness loses tis not with him I'll die
For somewhere in my life time an angel I'll beseech
To let me lie within her arms and slip the devil's reach
