The Devil's Tune

Poem about a deal with the Devil gone bad

THE DEVIL'S TUNE

It's boarded now
With steel and wood
No one can enter in

Though many years
Have since gone by
There's evil still within

It was a place
for movies
For pleasure and for fun

Until a man
who wanted fame
Did what should not be done

To make a famous movie
He made
The Devil's deal

He would be famous
Rich, a star
His son Satan would steal

His movie opened in that place
Now shut
with chains for ties

The Devil came
to see the film
And to take his prize

But the son
was not among those
In the audience that night

"You've cheated me"
Yelled Satan
"I'll take them all for spite"

Strange music
filled the theater
But no one lived to tell

For every single
person there
dissolved in music's spell

The Devil
took them all that night
With music made in Hell
