The Demon Wins Again
How long has it been I ask myself?
But really I don’t want to know
Yet the fear is still there, I feel it
And I know by now it really shows
I can taste the mind of that being
That lives deep inside my soul
As it guides me down, always down
To places I should never go
I’m living a mirrored life it seems
That shows opposite sides of me
And no matter how much I try and cry
I can’t seem to wrestle free
I’ll take it all to the grave one day
This double life I have chose
As a few walk me to the grave
As winter brings on the snows
My youth was gobbled up real fast
An old dead man is now what you see
That evil that lives inside
Has finally won its victory
