Old Scratch Songtext
von Ablaze

Called down to a crossroads
To a bar I′d seen before
Knew what I was up against
Just walking in that door
Old Scratch was back, with that same contract
We'd signed in blood red ink
But I never got what I was owed
Now it′s time to drink

Coz I've already been to hell and back, yeah

Going down for a drink with the devil
Now there's no end in sight
Going round for round with the devil
Gonna save my soul tonight


Snap of the fingers, flick of the wrist
Another round appeared
"No man nor beast can outdrink me
Your soul is mine" he jeered
He′s playing to win, I′ll give him that
But I'm not one to lose
Hell is picking up the tab
And I′ll be paid my dues

Coz I've already been to hell and back

Going down for a drink with the devil
Now there′s no end in sight
Going round for round with the devil
Gonna save my soul tonight

Going down for a drink with the devil
I'm drinking for my life
Going round for round with the devil
Gonna save my soul tonight

The devil swayed and slurred
"I think you′ve got me beat"
He went to stand and hit the floor
Now passed out at my feet
The bar fell silent
Stunned at what they had seen
I rang the bell and shouted "Hey!
This next round is on me!"


Going down for a drink with the devil
Now there's no end in sight
Going round for round with the devil
Gonna save my soul tonight

Going down for a drink with the devil
I did those shots for my life
Going round for round with the devil
Gonna save my soul tonight

Gonna save my soul
Yeah! Na, na, nah!
