Don’t fear the man behind the curtain
But rather fear what’s inside the man
A man’s intentions for us all is certain
A man’s intentions for himself is grand
The Novelty is gone, now we’re left to weather
Like a standing stone in the ruins of remorse
The subtlety is done, now we’re lost forever
Like a current in a river that flows against its source
Where once the rain fell upon the soil
Now soot and ashes are strewn about
Inside the man there hides the seeds of evil
And from within his skin the darkness will sprout
