Enemy

surrounded and hounded by evil ones and enemies...
but i'm so blind i still can't see
the evil one's inside of me...i'm my own worst enemy

like torches of terror burning holes in the night...i rise,run,and fall with merciless might
with fiery fury,like a twisted mad tyrant...i flood the world with hate like a broken fire hydrant
i massacre the messangers like a spreading disease
like a hellbent hooker down on dirty knees
nothing's free
the evil one's inside of me...i'm my own worst enemy

like a plague of paranoia set on stages of seduction
iniquities inflation leads to slow soul reduction
making wrong way turns into dead end roads...stumbling blocks into stepping stones
walking with the dead in leper colonies...coughing and crying
dark and diseased
the evil one's inside of me...i'm my own worst enemy

from strength into weakness...wise plans into foolish fame
at abomination altars is where my soul decays
unite and prosper to divide and conquer...sliced and severed i separate
planting sin seeds
the evil one's inside of me...i'm my own worst enemy

i plant new flags but they just won't fly...i see insanity set deep in my eyes
the disguise drops and my heart pounds with pain
because now i truly see...
the evil one's inside of me...i'm my own worst enemy
