I took the well-traversed path,
the broad way to destruction.
I took his outstretched, shadowed hand.
And we became fast friends.
Hand in hand we skipped along,
my friend and I.
Skipping along,
singing a song,
my friend and I.
To what extent will we carry on,
my friend and I?
I tried to be as good
as I possibly could.
That only led
me to being misunderstood.
Now, I walk my own path,
the broad way to destruction.
Hand in hand with my companion-
My friend, the devil, and I.
