Evil

Darkness takes corporeal form tonight
The evil resides in a human shell
The cold wind blowing, you can feel his might
Pain and suffering he shall soon expel

Fresh is the dark red blood upon his maw
The smell of death lingering in the air
His loud yell sends the crows off with a caw
Oh, pain and suffering he will soon share

Walking down the street while all are asleep
Hunting and searching for the first victim
His for the taking are these helpless sheep
Just one can make this future look less dim

He waits upon the bed of endless sleep
For the blood of the innocents to seep
