Analysis of Evil Within
Evil Within
Upon this winter's day I shall find
A life that ravels like a ball of twine.
And within that twining spool of thread
A life, long lived in a crimson red.
While evil demons and spirits speak to me,
There is no atoning for the wrongs meant to be.
As I wander in midsummer terror of night,
A brier of flame sends ashes in flight.
My vision still blurs in the black forest of sin,
Not knowing all evil of hell comes from within.
