The Evil One

Roaming and roaring...Who's next to devour?
The sins of soul slaves...they give him his power
Steal,kill,and destroy like shots from a gun
Turn away Turn away from the evil one

Slithering serpent hissing lyrical lies
He sees the past and the future through eternities eyes
With a million dark disguises and supernatural spies
He sells you the story and says it's just for fun
Turn away turn away from the evil one

He comes like a whisper and leaves like the wind
Twisting your thoughts and darkening your dreams
Laughing his lyrical lunacy as you scream a silent scream
On the southbound tracks trainwrecks lead to him
With catastrophe and chaos he thinks he has won
Turn away turn away from the evil one

He glitters and shines just like silver and gold
His false prophecies they start to unfold
But just like Goliath got struck with a stone
His time's melting fast like ice in the sun
Turn away turn away from the evil one
