An Evil Wind

An evil wind torments the trees tonight
Through the valleys and in the dales
An evil force created by mankind
Wages war on common traits.

As evil minds create such evil tides
The likes of us are crushed by their waves.
Evil deeds in evil times manifest in evil ways.

We’ve seen our people destroyed by their kind. Our hearts grow weak through the loss it takes. Chained to the walls of their deceits and lies, do we break our bones to find new ways.

Evil is here tonight. 
Evil has found a way. 
To crush the common man, his family and his kind. To break the soul and the pride a nation could always find. 

Evil lives and is here to stay.
