Lyric

At life’s last supper, it came to be

An elder faced a demon, silently

One Sunday evening, by the door it stood

A shadow dark, misunderstood

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

“What do you seek, demon?” asked with care

“Who sent you here, what brings you there?”

The elder’s eyes searched that strange guest

A visitor from the unknown rest

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

“I’ve come to serve,” the demon said

“Ask for what you want, no fear or dread.”

Into the house it slowly stepped

A secret pact about to be kept

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

Once a year, this shadow’s gift

Fulfills one wish, gives life a shift

The elder’s task was clear to see

To ask one thing, then to be free

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

Only one wish, one task to give

Choose your words, the life you live

With every gift, there’s always cost

The elder knew what might be lost

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

“What if I don’t ask for a task?

I won’t let darkness in my path.”

He turned away, hopes fading slow

Waiting for the demon to go

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

The demon spread its wings so wide

Its glowing eyes, no place to hide

“I’ll wait and bring a deadly plague

How many must fall before you choose?”

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

“All the world’s wealth, or beauty fair

All come at cost, beware the snare.”

The elder held the final say

To give the task or send away

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

Then at last, the elder spoke

A choice well made, a lasting cloak

“Leave my mind, I cast you out!

Begone from me, you demon’s doubt!”

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa

And just like that, the demon fled

The shadows gone, the night had fled

Da da daa

Da da daa

Da da daa
