The Reality of the Demon

Look closer Deeper into the shadows Hidden from the normal reality They lurk Creeping and crawling Sharpening its claws Ripping the truths that you know That’s how they do it Building hatred and distrust Turning man against their brothers Seeking to spill innocent blood They burrow into our souls Spreading their venomous ideas For their survival depends on it Survival in weak minds Minds unable to think Unwilling to look closer Through the darkness Into the endless shadows To look with the light of an open mind You won’t try to see what is real Unable to see the world around you The hatred and distrust grows And the demon is shared through countless tales And their reality grows While the true reality fades Never to be seen again
