A guide on Infernal business transactions

If you're going to sell your soul to the devil,

Please remember to read the terms and conditions.

You see, he's a rather good businessman

He likes to keep his contracts organized,

and he likes to profit

 

If you're going to sell your soul to the devil,

Please sign your name in blood

just above the dotted line

Make sure to place your date of birth below it

and he'll write your date of death above it

Don’t argue too much about the price of the transaction

Both dates could get closer

 

If you’re going to sell your soul to the devil,

Refrain from going to church until given notice,

You will recieve said notice,

When the date above the dotted line

Starts burning on your skin

 

If you’re going to sell your soul to the devil,

Announce the news exclusively

To any previous owner of your soul,

Previous contracts are annulled

Once you sign this one

Death hasn’t done you apart

You did.

 

If you’re going to sell your soul to the devil,

It is recommended to remain as far as possible

From the reach of children

They can see something is wrong,

And may get suspicious

When they see two shadows behind you

 

If you’re going to sell your soul to the devil,

Know that neither angels or ghosts

Will want anything to do with you from now on.

Death won’t come to charge you for your purchase,

The businessman will.
