He is waiting in the shadows,
Back alleys and right out on the
Street
This entity who delivers
To those who prove to weak

He promises you a trip to
Paradise just out beyond the mind
But at journeys end you sadly discover
Hell is all you find

This smooth fast talker, quickly
Moves in for the kill
You were so easy to persuade
You, Looking for one more thrill

The outcome will not bring you what
You sought to gain
But lead you down a narrow road
And a destination filled with
Sorrow, regret and pain

This dealer has a job whose stakes
Often run way to high
Where the outcome for you will be
A day to day, live or die

The cost for your ticket and the
Paradise you sought
Will be a world full of pain
And destruction
From the misery that you bought
