Analysis of Wizard of Darkness
Beware my friends my Name is the wizard.
Also known as the great white blizzard.
When I 1st lived nobody knew.
When the law found out I was already through.
I entered the business without a thought.
Of what would happen if I was caught.
My little white gains were nothing but waste .
So soft so deadly so bitter with taste
I can make a schoolboy forget his books
And cause a woman to forget her looks
I can Make a good Husband Is cast out his wife
And send a greedy pusher to prison for life.
I'm the wizard of crime and the Prince of corruption
I'll Capture your soul and cause it's destruction
I'm not just a wizard I got to behold
More precious than diamonds More treasure than gold
So if you wish to hear more of the things I Can do
Of the women I delighted
And the men that I slewed
I'll make a man shall be that once dressed nice
And send A Greedy Pusher to prison for life
I'll pick you up and put you under my wing
You dare to define me I who am king .
You toss and you turn but still you can't Sleep
You wake in the morning all trembling and weak
You search through the night for simply a sparkle
But you will never find it for I am
THE WIZARD OF DARKNESS .
