A Peaceful Killer

The Devil was once an angel, so the story goes
Emotions run deep, they're like a river that flows.
Evil lies within us all
With fear and hatred we hear its call.
I'm not telling you this, to make up some bar
I just don't think I'd stop, if I ever got pushed that far.

Killing to me, is as natural as a cat with claws
All my mind needs, is the right cause.
I'd happily giggle while I slit a throat 
I'd rather sacrifice you than a goat.
You're nothing to me and you'll never be on my level
I send shivers down the spine of the Devil.
With good and bad I do not agree
I've embraced them both you see.

I'd rather be a peaceful man who's capable of killing
Than a killer who's heart is never chilling.
I pray for peace and never look for war
You'll be sorry if you ever brought it to my door.
Very few things make me mad
My evil comes out when my heart is sad.
The things I love, matter to me more than you
Hurt them and I'd be a Nazi, treating you like a Jew.
Not in a gas chamber there's not enough pain
I'd make you watch me throw your kids in front of a train.
Do not test me and we'll okay
Because I honestly do fear that day.
