The Demon Inside

Knowlage is power
Nothing can exceed it
Only in death
Will it fade
 
Power is evil
Another force to corrupt others
In a stranger's eyes you are a hero
Not to any other's though
 
Killing the problem is fruitless
Instantly after the same power returns
Leaving problems left and right
Leave it to die alone
 
Power seems good to gain
Against others wishes you do it
In this decision you have fallen
Now you're corrupted too
