sue crocker - Beware the Devil

Beware the devil hidden from sight

In darkened shadows late at night

For Satan lurks, he lies in wait

For hapless souls to make mistakes


And when they do, all hope is gone

For the devil your soul will work upon

He will dissect your mind, chill your heart

Your dreams and wishes he will tear apart


Bleak thoughts he will place in your brain

He will weaken your body, cause you pain

With fiery flames he will corrupt your soul

And with his evil will take control


He will fit you out in colours dark

Alone in a place so bleak and stark

He will taunt you, twist you round

Till no trace of sanity can be found


There you will remain, weary and cold

As you shake with fear at what will unfold

Then Satan speaks with evil ire

Tempts you into hells own fire


Those shining flames flickering bright

Consume you into an endless night

Evil now reigns, and goodness is taken

A nightmare from which you will never awaken


So beware the devil hidden out of sight

In darkest shadows late at night

For Satan waits, his evil to spawn

Tread carefully, you have been warned!
