Lyrics for Evil That's Within

There once was a familiar face Battle scars in disarray A simple man, power drunk No worries of dying, no more anything Deep inside I've seen it rise Bastards possesses to no end Mirror, mirror - please look inside Do you see the evil that's within? Pyramids of dead men and dogs Spoils of war or so they say Once burned, forever marked Hurt by just a few, but so many have to pay Deep inside I've seen it rise Bastards possesses to no end Mirror, mirror - please look inside Do you see the evil that's within? Pressure coming down Down on me, gonna break Broken fingernails Digging in, scratch your face Nervous, like a cat Gonna jump through my skin Shadows on the wall Stretching out, grope for me (Evil) Evil (Evil) Deep in me (Evil) Let me be (Evil) Let me bleed (Evil) Set me free (Evil) Set me free (Evil) Set me free (Evil) The evil that's within
