The Mask of Evil


                                                 They take flight

                                               To escape the night

                                                  But evil hides

                                                Behind every door

 

                                                    They can run

                                                     They can hide

                                               But evil cannot be seen

                                                   By the naked eye

 

                                                     It creeps into some

                                                      Unsuspecting soul

                                                And says someone must die

 

                                                        You are forced 

                                                     To complete the task

                                                     While others are left

                                                        To ask WHY!
