My face felt like burning ash, yet I was as pale as a ghost

Friends, acquaintance's, and family, all wanted to know what had happened to me

I certainly did not want to inform them of   failure, but with victory

But family in particular was relentless with questions

How were they to suspect I had picked a fight with satan

And I had conquered the beast

Was I the new Saint Michael

Not really, I had deliberately began the fight to save the world

I had grown tired of the killings, and thievery all around me

I wanted it halted immediately

So my challenge was to the agnostic devil

He tempted me with sultry endowed beautiful women

I rejected all of them besides the beast

But I suffered mightily

My girlfriend with child was murdered next to me by one of his demons

But I went on, and with the assistance of Jesus Christ

I exited the beast from my life once and for all time

Now my life is serene and prayerful

For I lived to conquer the beast

He is gone from my world forever
