The Night I Broke the Devil’s Deal

He carved my name in a book of ashes, Told me, “Son, you’re mine ‘til the grave.” For years I carried chains of fire, Walkin’ proud like a broken slave.

But a man gets tired of losin’ his soul, And the dark gets scared when you stop bein’ cold.

The night I broke the devil’s deal, Lightning cracked beneath my heel. I tore my name right off his page, Left that fire in a burnin’ rage. I ain’t blessed and I ain’t healed — But I’m done dyin’ on my knees. The night I broke the devil’s deal, Hell learned not to mess with me.

I walked out past the crooked chapel, Breathin’ smoke like a man reborn. Every demon hid behind the gravestones, Like they knew I’d survived the storm.

You can’t own a man who’s made of scars, Can’t leash a heart that outruns the stars.

The night I broke the devil’s deal, I felt the truth beneath the steel. Every sin he used to hold — Turned to dust when I took control. I ain’t holy, I ain’t clean — But I fight like I’m meant to be. The night I broke the devil’s deal, Hell remembered fear of me.

Ohh… I walked through fire and it bowed its head… Ohh… The devil whispered, “Boy, you should be dead…” But I rose, I rose instead — Carved my freedom in blood-red tread.

The night I broke the devil’s deal, Even angels held their breath. I rode out with nothin’ left to lose, Except the man I’d been in death. If the darkness wants to claim me — It’ll have to take me on my feet. The night I broke the devil’s deal… Was the night **I became complete**.
