Demons
Children, children
Gather around,
For I have a story to tell
The story starts with a demon,
Lurking not too far from here,
Lets see who can figure it out first,
Like a game, my dear
Day in and day out,
He stares at the outside world through his looking glass,
But this one, darling
Is in a completely different class
He is doomed for eternity,
To observe the world around him,
From his tall tower of
Dark, crimson liquid
Have you figured it out?
Who this demon is?
Well make sure you're sitting down,
Because here comes the twist
This demon I speak of
Is all too close
He peeks outside everyday,
Right under your nose
This demon, my children,
Lives within your hearts,
He is present in some more than others,
Tearing them apart
This demon lies it wait,
Waiting for the perfect chance
To take his place, of course,
To ask the devil for a dance
He is nothing but trouble,
Bound up forever,
But some let him free,
Some let him wander
He steals the souls of everyone in his path,
Sometimes he does it,
Just for a laugh
He is cold-hearted,
But some don't understand,
They don't see how much power he possesses,
Bringing them to their knees with just one hand
He is the embodiment of everything you fear,
And more,
And when he's finished with you,
All he'll do is shut the door
Unfortunately for you,
I am a demon who got free,
So be prepared children,
Your souls belong to me
