As was told
The man who had to sell his soul
Kept from fright
Stayed awake, and sat all night
Stayed away, and sat all night

They came to ask:
For a reason and a task
Before I could
Tell them that they never should
Tell them that they never should
Tell them that they never should

Serves me right
Serves me right

Came to be
The reason for eternity
Human right
Weakening inside their crime
Weakening inside their crime
Weakening inside their crime

Serves me right
Serves me right
Next, what came:
Was the poison in the rhyme
A change at flame
Leaving all inside for a day
Leaving all inside for a day
Leaving all inside for a day

Serves me right
Serves me right
Serves me right
Serves me right
