The Essence Of Evil

I'm the essence of evil you all should know
i don't have a special marking nor my eyes do glow

i don't come from the devil nor of fire
nor have lustfully or frivolous desires

ask me where i came from or where i began
not the devil or a place called Bethlehem

I'm not some ancient evil nor the devil
we all began at the very same level

doctors are coming to get me to mentally molest me
they would kill me cause their's no way to correct me

priest come to save me but their efforts are in vein
because i wasn't born of a different ethereal plane

if you could borrow my eyes to see what i see
you would take a knife and disembowel me

like hour glass sand counting down time
how i was born with this rhythm and rime

like the sun to the moon, the darkness to light
destined to spend centuries without anything bright

i am the essence of evil the darkness inside
i put on a mask and live out my play in my disguise
