What harm will it do?

Not all people are what they appear...

 

I spoke to the devil in disguise

I smiled and wore a jacket that I despise

The talk was cheap and full of lies

There’s no soul, behind his eyes

He tries so hard, and yet fails so easy

Tries to look chic, but comes across sleazy

We all have our devils, so be ever on guard

The wrong way is easy, the right always hard

Don’t be beguiled, by the city at night

It’s evil is lurking, bathed in bright light

Convincing your soul, everything is all right

What harm will it do, if you take just one bite?

What harm will it do, if you get a bit tight?

What harm will it do, if you get into a fight?

Don't fall from your pedestal -  you set the height

Try to be mighty with all of your might

Remember the devil himself…is just a mite
