Evil That’s Within Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There once was a familiar face
Battle scars in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of dying, no more anything

[Refrain]
Deep inside I've seen it rise
Bastards possessed to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the evil that’s within?

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Deep inside I've seen it rise
Bastards possessed to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the evil that's within?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
(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
