rise, i say, yes rise above
'cause evil is as evil does, what evil does to me

down you go to lands below
'cause evil is as evil does, what evil does to me

they who reign in sand
take this brightest strike
in their so called castles
now with walls of glass

i can see, i can see, i can see
all your deeds, all your needs, on your knees
so i'll crack your feeble shell

can you even see the works of what you fear?
'cause evil is as evil does what evil's done to me

further inside, til all you have is mine
evil is as evil does, the evil done to me

dreams, he said
dreams he wore
dreams he wore
dreams he wore
hope, he said
hope he wore
love, he said
and evil he wore

i'll strip you down
i'll tear you down
i'll burden you with tears
i'll bring you down
til nails come off
i'll turn your bed of lies
dreams upon a night
dreams upon your thoughts
dreams upon your fears
and dreams upon your love

blind to your eyes, blind to your mind
'cause evil is what evil does, what evil does to me

taste and you'll see the fruit you took is foul
evil is what evil does, what evil's done to me

you who turn to others
with everything you lack
a face that bears not seeing
then i'll turn my back

i can see, i can see, i can see
all your needs, all your deeds, on your knees
so i'll crack your fucking shell
