Old Scratch Lyrics by Rusty Things

Wading Through the Waste

2013

[Verse]
A haunted soul, a haunted past will always follow me
I tried to run I tried to hide
God knows I tried to flee
The seven deadly sins they are the rules we follow now
The devil is the mayor and his demons run this town

[Chorus]
Yeah the devil came right up to me with such a crooked grin
With a shaky hand and blood-filled pen I signed my soul to him
A few times over I did something I'll always regret
Too heavy on my conscience to forget

[Verse]
The devil said "I like your sound it suits us very well
Well keep it up, we'll see ya soon, you're headed down for hell"
Oh he reached into his pocket and a pen with blood for ink
I took it and I signed my soul for life I couldn't plea

[Chorus]
Oh the devil came right up to me with such a crooked grin
With a shaky hand and blood-filled pen I signed my soul to him
A few times over I did something I'll always regret
Too heavy on my conscience to forget

[Verse]
I wish I never sold my soul but now it's all too late
Damned to hell for all my sins, to hell for all the hate
And for generations I'll be wondering what I've come to be
Now I'm [?] forever and I'll never get to see

[Chorus]
Yeah the devil came right up to me with such a crooked grin
With a shaky hand and blood-filled pen I signed my soul to him
A few times over I did something I'll always regret
Too heavy on my conscience to forget
