I Saw the Devil

I saw the devil 

The mirror dont lie 
Yet men can't see through the reflection 
Of their soul from the mirrors of life
Could it be they dont have the third eye 
Or could it be that the devil blind the eyes of men 
The world now is full of sorrows
Alot of grieves in places
Is like the world is in Shakes of terrorism
Fear on the heart of the people everywhere
Religions now a crime to many 
While somany call on God
Yet they cant see through the mirrors of life

I saw the devil 
I saw this men from the top ranks 
They got alot power 
Alot power but just for nothing
From the mirrors of life they are the living devils 
They dont want Peace 
either do they love 
Their ego is all that matters
Even when it kills the innocents
That don't mean  nothing to them
They got alot power but they are blind

I saw the devil
Through this wicked men 
I saw the devil 
Through the mirrors of life 
I saw demons in them 
It effect everyone 
It corrupt the mind of the Good
It makes the humble go insane
The devil lives in this corn men 
The devil speaks his lies through them
The devil lives among us through them 
I saw the devil yet the devil still is not far from me

I saw the devil 
Alot soul the devil have killed 
Through this men on the hills of power 
Alot the devil still is up to through this men 
They are every where in the world now 
In the shades of religion some hides
In the shades of politic some shows 
All in disguise of good but evil  
Our generation is at war 
Just as we don't learn from history
We live through a world of lies
Where the good we know now is evil

I saw the devil
The devil is not only on the mad man 
In the streets
The devil is not only black 
The devil is not even only just white 
But the devil is in every colours of evil
Wonder why the world is full of evil 
Here you will see the devil 
Is in the heart of the one who don't see 
Who don't have the third eye
They just look but don't see humanity 
On the mirror of life 
Evil are not far any more 
So through the reflection of men 
From the mirrors of life
I saw the devil
