The devil smiled
Looked into my eyes
Said "Don't you want to be remembered?"
I said "Not if I'm despised."
So he took my hand and promised
And I threw caution to the wind
He said "I'll give you what you
Want for there is no such thing as sin."
I watched the world burn
And went dancing in the fame
I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for flames
(I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for fame)
An angel came to me as I sat there in the ruin
He pulled me to my feet
And asked "My child, what are you doing?
This world is too unsafe for a little girl to see
I said "Don't you know that I'm the one
Who brought it to it's knees?"
I watched the world burn
And went dancing in the fame
I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for flames
(I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for fame)
He said "It's not too late to save you
Nor is it too late for the world
It's not too late
It's not too late
You're just a little girl."
I said "There's blackness in my heart
There's darkness in my soul
I am a monster clothed in skin
I traded kindness for control."
I watched the world burn
And went dancing in the fame
I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for flames
I gambled on a chance
For the world to know my name
I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for fame
(I sold my soul for ruin
I sold my soul for fame)
