The Vold Bargain

A life for a life, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
Cry not for me, I'll bear forth this pact
Pledging service to hell to leave you intact.

Take father for child, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
From the blackest of depths, while sanity drains
My one selfless act, this love still remains.

Hubris incarnate, the legacy of man
To think we could tether powers the span
Nine circles of bloodlust, of gluttony, of sin
Foolhardy sheep summon wolves to bargain.

Oh, my fair child, I can't scold you for your deeds
Enraptured by her quest for power, she gave her flesh to succeed
We desired demonic concordance, to give you all the treasures of this world
But in your eyes, you sought nothing other than to be held.

A life for a life, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
Cry not for me, I'll bear forth this pact
Pledging service to hell to leave you intact.

Take father for child, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
From the blackest of depths, while sanity drains
My one selfless act, this love still remains.

Stepping foot into this runic trap, your machinations fill with me pride
A conjurer born of my own flesh and blood, this is where true power resides
Oh my child, can you forgive me? We gave you everything, but our bond
Remember me in the moments before mortality absconds.

Succumbing to my contract, an Eldritch conduit speaks
"This summoning was fated
We're not done with you yet
You've slighted us this time
But we won't soon forget
Know that I could still take you
That I could still break you
But in loneliness, you will seek me."

The years feel like minutes, this torture endures
I mutilate, eviscerate, dehumanize
Immortalized upon the understanding that this could be you
Humanity tarnished, innocence removed.

A life for a life, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
Cry not for me, I'll bear forth this pact
Pledging service to Hell to leave you intact.

Take father for child, a bargain mistold
My child in your folly, you've wagered your soul
From the blackest of depths, while sanity drains
My one selfless act, this love still remains.
