Sacrificial Hymn

I sold my soul
  for new meter and rhyme
 
Trading salvation,
  for a thing greater still
 
The joyous embrace
  of one hell damning phrase
 
Now immortal, perpetual,
—fulfilled
 
I sold my soul
  as the Devil laughed
 
Knowing not, my final words
  were for him
 
Exposing his lie,
  and his legions of hate
 
With my last breath,
—a sacrificial hymn
