The Evil In The World

I watched the world crumble again,

I watched the homeless die,

I watched Hell's gate open,

So I hung my head and cried

I watched the never ending racist fight,

I watched gay rights neglected,

I watched the hope take flight,

So I sit with the objected

I watched the weak get broken,

I watched best friends at war,

I watched great words never spoken,

So I lay motionless on the floor

I watched people lose to depression,

I watched people lose to love,

I watched people lose to suicide obsession,

So I look at my spilled blood

I watched bomb explosions,

I watched physical abuse,

I watched suicidal emotions,

So I have no path to choose

I know of pain,

I know of Hell,

I know of sadness,

I know of cells

I know of fairy tales

Of course they are not true,

If they really were,

Our world would be new

I know I haven't seen all the evil in the world,

But I always know it's there,

I can tell you what I have seen though,

I'm not afraid to share

I've seen innocent people die,

I've seen happy people cry,

I've seen everything go downhill,

I've seen right through the lies

I didn't think the world was gone,

I thought it was a joke,

But as I see it now,

I know there is no hope
