Essence Of Evil

The last brick has been placed

Trapped in a wall of stone

Buried without a trace

Left to rot to the bone

Two men had been close friends

Fought a war side by side

Greed and lust lead to the end

One man buried alive

The undead has life

Essence of Evil

Crawling and crawling

Stair after stair

It cries in the night

Essence of Evil

Revenge on the one

That has put it there

So one talks of a truce

He lures the other to his home

Let us drink and forget

The reason we walk alone

A smile on his face

But murder is on his mind

A taste of poison too late

How could he have been so blind

Upstairs the killer sleeps

As its clawing tooth and nail

Raw flesh finds loose stone

It escapes from its jail

And now the killer wakes

As the door swings open wide

The essence has sealed his fate

There is nowhere to hide
