Saga of Soul

OMAKE: A DEMON WENT DOWN TO TOKYO



(To the tune of Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia")



A demon went down to Tokyo, he was looking for a witch to kill

He was in a bind,

'Cause he was way behind,

He was looking to make a deal

When he came across this young girl using magic and dealing with plots

So the demon rushed

Had bystanders crushed

And said: "Girl, let me tell you what:


I guess you didn't know it, but I am quite the schemer too

And if you'd care

To take a dare

I'll make a bet with you.

Now you play 'em like a fiddle, girl, but give this demon his due:

I'll bet this magical knife

Against your life

'Cause I think I'm better than you."

The girl said: "My name's Eri and I know I can win,

So I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best there's ever been!"


Eri hit him hard and fast, and on your move think hard

'Cause hell's broke loose in Tokyo and this demon deals the cards

And if you win, then there's a chance that you might save us all

But if you lose, it will be your downfall


So Downfall looked across the board and he said: "I'll start this show."

As fire flew from his fingertips and horns grew from his brow

And he moved the pieces 'cross the board and he made an evil hiss

Then a band of minions joined in and it sounded something like this.


When the demon finished, Eri said: "Dude, you're merely a smug snake.

So sit down in that chair right there and let me show you what it'll take:"

Sending all your enemies on the run

A demon in the land of the rising sun

Actions to be taken magically

Magic to be applied tactically


The demon bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat

He laid that knife of magic on the ground at Eri's feet.

Eri said: "Downfall you're such a fool and your plans shall not come to pass

And if you try again, you bag full o' douche, I'll be there to kick your ass!"


Sending all your enemies on the run

A demon in the land of the rising sun

Actions to be taken magically

Magic to be applied tactically
