What lingers in the darkest shadows
Very few of us ever see
But it still remains, waiting there
Forever watching you and me
The voice that whispers in your left ear
The one fighting with your right
The one that speaks of your deepest fears
The one that starts the fights
The one that masterminds your sins
The one behind your darkest plans
His voice is clear and always heard
When you do wrong, you shake his hand
He can’t be stopped nor controlled
He is ruled by no one but him
His persuasion takes its toll
Every time you choose to sin
He is old as time, as young as day
He has taken his fair share of souls
He’s the Devil, some may say
That traps you in your endless hole
So he’ll watch from the shadows
Only speaking when it’s time
He’ll take your soul forever
Leaving you without a rhyme
