EVIL LURKING

Raven69 1969 (Lakeland)



Tell me he doesn't exist,
Tell me
There is no such thing.
I will call you a liar
He comes around only in spring.
Darkness in his eyes,
Evil in his heart,
He will jump out of every corner
Trying to tear your world apart.
They whisper in your ear,
They put thoughts in your head.
The evil lurking the earth,
Will not stop until all is dead.
The weak he already has,
The strong is what he seeks out.
Sometimes he almost gets in,
How you know
Is when you start to doubt.
There are so many names for this evil,
That walks this earth stealing souls.
The choices that you make right now,
Determines..
Exactly where you will go.
