The Devil Within

The Devil Within

I never hurt you

Never came in your way..

And yet you decided that I

Shall bleed with all those that you slay

For your own selfish reasons

You're out for vengeance

For the devil inside you

Shall the world have to pay?

Innocence and love is lost from the world,

Rusted with centuries of glorified hate

Of community for community,religion for religion

On which has grown your devilish gait.

Epitome of the world's end, you are

Born of the abbhorrence of man for man..

Feeding on cold penury

You have the blood of strife on your hands.

As hearts go numb,

And tears go dry...

As the world turns to fire

Around me as I die..

As my breath gets shorter

I ask you this,

How many more must you kill

Before your hate turns to bliss?

My eyelids are growing heavy..

I shall soon unite with history

You shall stand on a bed of graves

And claim a meaningless victory.

Blood has flowed for aeons now,

As you pricked at every vein..

But someday the devil shall be exorcised

And the world shall forget its ghastly pains.
