The Deal Buried in Smoke

The ink was dry before the words were said, Signed in shadows, written in red. Every promise fades in the haze, A man is owned by the debts he pays.

The deal buried in smoke, Never makes it to the light. Shake a hand, lose your soul, All is lost by midnight.

The glass was raised but the truth was drowned, The cost of silence wears a crown. Whispers buy what blood can’t sell, Every contract’s a step through hell.

No paper, no seal, no holy vow, Only shadows remember what I’ve done now.

The deal buried in smoke, Still lingers in my chest. You don’t bargain with the devil — You just pay what’s left.
