When the city sleeps,
The evil tries to find
A soul to make it bleed
Until the end of time.

The evil's everywhere,
It's right behind my back,
Dissolved in silent air,
The evil fades to black.

And when the evil takes my soul
I want to scream, but have no throat;
And when the evil makes me kneel
I want to stand, but have no will;
And when the evil makes me die
I want to breathe but can't survive;
And when the evil takes my heart
I want to love, but fall apart.

When the morning comes,
The shadows slip away;
This new day brings the dawn
Filled with the shades of gray.

The evil's in my mind,
The evil rules my life;
And everything I liked
The evil killed with knives.
