The Devil's Bridge

[Verse 1] In the shadow of the mountains, under a crimson sky, The villagers gathered, with a desperate cry: - "Build us a passage, across the chasm wide, Lest our souls be trapped on this forsaken side." [Pre-Chorus] Murmurs in the twilight, a pact begins to weave, A bridge from stone and darkness, the devil to deceive. [Chorus] "Hahaha!" roars the devil, his laughter shakes the ground, But the villagers stand silent, their plan is tightly bound. "Save us!" they cry out, as the goat takes the lead, Tricking the deceiver, with their cunning deed. [Verse 2] The bridge arose from nothing, a marvel to behold, Spanning the deadly maw, so daring and so bold. The devil's hands did craft it, with malice in his heart, But the villagers were ready, to play their clever part.

[Chorus] "Hahaha!" echoes the devil, his laughter fills the night, But the villagers' cries pierce through, with hope and with might. "Save us!" echoes their plea, as the beast meets its fate, Outwitting the dark one, sealing his fiery hate. [Bridge] The devil's rage was fearsome, as he saw the ruse unfold, A goat instead of human, in the story now retold. With a roar of fury, the bridge he sought to fell, But the villagers' resolve, was stronger than his hell. [Outro] Now the Devil's Bridge stands, a testament to their will, Against the darkest forces, their spirits unbroken still. The devil's laughter fades, a mere echo in the sound, For in the hearts of the valiant, a profound courage is found [END] still. The devil's laughter fades, a mere echo in the sound, For in the hearts of the valiant, a profound courage is found [END]
