EVIL HIDES

Evil hides,

Like the spirit,

Manatou.

Hidden evil,

In men's minds,

Too.

Hidden evil,

Right behind,

You.

Evil hiding,

In me,

It's true.

 

Evil hides,

Everywhere.

Hidden evil,

In the air.

Hidden evil,

All around.

Evil hiding,

Makes not a sound.

 

Evil hides,

From the light.

Hidden evil,

Comes out at night.

Hidden evil,

In a playground park.

Evil hiding,

In shadows dark.

 

Evil hides,

On the street.

Hidden evil,

Will more evil meet.

Hidden evil,

Hides together.

Evil hiding,

Under cover.

 

Evil hides,

Like a thief.

Hidden evil,

'Neath the unturned leaf.

Hidden evil,

Sees all around.

Evil hiding,

Underground.

 

Evil hides,

In the smallest places.

Hidden evil,

In some men's faces.

Hidden evil,

Cannot be fought.

Evil hiding,

In a thought.

 

Evil hides,

Behind good intentions.

Hidden evil,

Lay in many dimensions.

Hidden evil,

Can be sought.

Evil hiding,

Cannot be caught.

 

Evil hides,

But it does not cower.

Hidden evil,

That is it's power.

Hidden evil,

Who can patrol it?

Evil hiding,

None can control it.

 

Evil hides,

In what men say.

Hidden evil,

To some pray.

Hidden evil,

Feeding on its energy.

Evil hiding,

Even in the core of me.

 

Evil hides,

While we play.

Hidden evil,

We find all day.

Hidden evil,

Into the background they blend.

Evil hiding,

With us 'till the end.

 

Evil hides,

Gathering,

In a pack.

Hidden evil,

Gives no forewarn,

Of attack.

Hidden evil,

Hiding,

So very still.

Evil hiding,

'Till there's,

Blood to spill.

 

Evil hides,

Where I'm,

Black as coal.

Hidden evil.

In,

My soul.

Hidden evil,

Take ya on a wild ride,

For free.

Evil hiding,

Deep inside,

Of me.
