The Devil's Tears Poem by Cemetery man

Having beaten
the devil once before,
I was ready to place a bet,

.....for something even bigger
than my life that I could get!

'Devil, Devil, I know your trouble
but I bet I can make you cry.
'Go right ahead' the devil said,
'-Just you go and try! '

But as I reached the depths of hell
and slipped into the flames,
burning souls, wretched souls,
cried out to me in pain!
Their tortured screams and desperate cries
echoed in my ears,
a cacaphony of misery,
of torment and of fear!
An eternity of hopelessness
for these spirits that won't die,
I'l hear their shreiks forever! in my dreams I'l hear them cry!

The tears welled up inside my eyes,
I prayed he'd end it all,
but not even God, almighty God
could hear my desparate calls.
For I'm in Hell, way down below
and heaven's up above,
and all my tears will only fall
where there's no place left for love.

'I want you to get the hell out of here! '
the devil yelled at me.
as He tried to wipe his tears away
but they were there to see

'You think you've won and beaten me!
There's Not a chance in Hell!
You're soul was dammed a long time ago
and you've got nothing left to sell! '

'100 souls! are all I'l free
and not one single more!
I'l fill this bet that you have made

and then I'l come for yours! '
