Religion is for people afraid of hell

Spirituality is for people who have been there
And as I sit amongst the fire
And brimstone
As the demons poke me with their pitchforks
And I hear the cries of the damned souls
And reflect on memories
of looking into myself
And seeing nothing but a hollow shell
I realize that soon
Will come my time to rise
Out of the fires like a phoenix
To soar through the sky
And reclaim the ashes
That had been burned from me.
I have walked through darkness
I have walk through emptiness
I have lost my soul enough times
To know how to find it
Each time I lose it
I dig it up from it’s grave.
So the Devil has dealt with me,
And I have taken his offers
But after the deal was done
I took hold of inner strength
And took the better end of the deal
Leaving the devil feeling cheated
Because I would have been such a good servant
He could have used me
To channel his minion on the earth
But I took the power he gave me
And cut away the ties the power would have bound me to
And became more powerful than he.

I don’t worship the Devil
The Devil worships me.
