The devil and the witch were in cahoots
One day they made a pact
She stomped around him in her witchy boots
And their love became a fact
It wasn't so simple though because
They were not meant to collude
Too much evil begets evil and more evil
And the balance of life comes unskewed
The witch, she laughed and she waved her hand
The devil, he roared and he danced
Around them the trees and the flowers withered
As their evil became enhanced
For the air they inhabitated grew thick and black
As they danced side by side
And their whisperings of love polluted the skies
And all the small animals died
The forces of good diminished and shrank
The sky turned red and black
As the blood of all life ran into the ground
And the corpses began to stack
But the witch soon grew tired, you see
Because deep down, she really did care
About the state of the earth, and nature, and decay
So she made the devil a dare
If he could make good on his love
And rid the world of everything bad
She'd love him passionately forevermore
Even though the boredom would make him mad
Well, as all evil slowly withered away
The witch hoped the devil would be able to stay
But as he was man's embodiment of evil
He sadly had to go away
The witch would have to find somebody good,
With which to play.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
