Curt's blog: "my ramblings"

The Devil came calling
On a dark cold night
We sat and there and talked
In the campfires flickering light

The air had a chill
Like I’d had never felt before
Cause the Devil came calling
To settle up the score

He knows me well
All bad things I’d done
How I’m a friend of old Death
An not much like anyone

Said boy your times near
Best change your ways
Next time I come calling
Will be the end of your days

Not a visit like last time
You came down to me
You’ll stay there forever
All though eternity

Been there just one time
Only insane can go an stand the pain
Cold on the inside as fire sears your skin
Absence of love with nothing left to gain

Moving like a panther
He gets up to go
Stops in the shadows
Looked back to make sure I know

My spine turns to ice
Set shivering in fear
Sweat burns my eyes
The Devil is here

The camp fire erupts
Flames fill the sky
Hell’s on earth this night
Can only scream or cry

He leaves as he came
Stars return to the sky
Cool breeze clears the air
I’m not ready to die

I throw logs on the fire
Pull my old hat down tight
I thank our dear Load
I made it through this night

When the Devil comes calling
He’s about got your soul
Get on them knees an pray
Pray you don’t go
