Is there an evil in the world?
Yes, there’s an evil in the world.
Is there an evil in the world?
Yes, there’s an evil in the world.
It creeps up from behind you
when you are least suspecting

Is there a dog in this race?
Yes, there’s a dog in this race
I’m looking at his tail
but I’m thinking about his face
So I keep on pushing forward
Acquiring and collecting

Is there an absolute beginning
or something beyond the end?
Will I come back as that dog
Or will I have to live through this again?
The truth seeps out between us
in the spaces we’re neglecting

When the push comes to shove
and our devils come at us running
Will we be caught in the flood
or something far less stunning?
Will that serum keep us honest
from the answers we’re deflecting?

There’s a voice within the void
and I swear it sounds familiar
within the truths that we’ve destroyed
whispering come here
and the answer is within you
but it keeps on disconnecting
There’s an evil in this world
I seen it in the news
of babies dead in schools
and scattered in the pews
for reasons without answers
in the dark, beyond protection
I’m moving through the void
Staring down the fright show
Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the light show
I try with all my might
to seek the truth you’ve been rejecting

Seeking some salvation
to the limits of my talents
I hold my family close
trying to find the balance
Between the bad shit going down
and the beauty that this life can keep injecting

There’s the whiplash of the news
and the evil man’s tirades
A joker’s motorcade, military parades
Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made
to win elections

Guns and ammunition
Babies in a cage
They say nothing can be done,
but they tell us how they prayed
In the end we’re just standing
Watching Greatness Fade

Into Darkness… Awaiting Resurrection.
