Sold

See me shackled, a prisoner here
See me chained, by this fear
I made too many mistakes
Nothing real, too many fakes
I never saw where I was going
What fate was throwing

I followed the flow
And sold my soul
I couldn't tell
I was in Hell

A stranger made me a deal
It didn't seem to be real
It was too late to realise
It was the Devil in disguise
I signed my life all away
A victim for him to play

I followed the flow
And sold my soul
I couldn't tell
I was in Hell


Somewhere you hear me shout
Lost in shadows, I am screaming out
Nobody knows I have been
I am lost and I am unseen
Caught out by the oldest trick
Now only a toy for Old Nick

I followed the flow
And sold my soul
I couldn't tell
I was in Hell
