Shadows

Shadows of evil, exit I say!
My spiritual rifle will blow you away!

Don't appropriate my attention.
Flickers of light with colors that glisten.

You are deceiving and not welcome here.
Today you are leaving; I've been clear.

Armed with protection through faith I stand tall.
I reveal through your reflection of fear on my wall.

Strong and seductive you prey on the weak.
Holding souls captive and through them you speak.

Through chaos you thrive causing pain and despair.
To the people who strive to be righteous and fair.

I recognize your game and I'll fight with my sword.
I adhere his name he's your rival the Lord.

Your obsession and lust over me will soon lend.
My Salvation's a must and I'm not going to bend.

Shadow of darkness, exit I say!
Back to the starkness of Hell you will stay!
