good or evil

SO LEGEND HAS ITS SAY,
WHEN NIGHT ERODES THE DAY,
AND DARKNESS FILLS OUR EYES,
THUS HEAR THOSE NIGHTLY CRIES,

BE HERESAY, LEGEND OR TRADITION,
THE STORYTELLER HAS HIS SUICIDE MISSION,
BE IT GHOST, FIEND, ZOMBIE OR VAMPIRE,
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW NIGHTMARE.

THE HAIRS THAT STAND ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK,
THE WOMEN? FAINT AND HIT THE DECK,
BLOOD SPLATTERED OR YOU FEEL JUST ICEY COLD,
THE REALM OF TERROR HAS TAKEN ITS HOLD.
MAYBE YOU ARE CHRISTIAN OR YOU LIVE IN SIN,
BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS, WILL GOOD OR EVIL WIN?

THE STORYTELLER TRIES TO SHOCK YOU,
MARILYN MANSON TRIES TO ROCK YOU,
BOTH IMAGES TWIST BLEAK WITH GRIM,
WHICH OF THE FORCES WILL SINK OR SWIM?

YOU MAY LAUGH OR YOU MAY CRY,
SEE ANOTHER VICTIM BLEED, FALL AND DIE,
MUTTER TO YOURSELF "IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ME!"
BUT JUST CASE YOU GASP, TURN AND FLEE!

SADISTIC IMAGES OR ANGLES IN HEAVEN!?
VIBRANT STORIES, CRANKED UPTO ELEVEN,
BUT THE BATTLE REMAINS INSIDE OUR BRAINS,
WHAT WILL SURVIVE "BENEATH THE REMAINS"

TIME IS SHORT AND NIGHT SURRENDERS,
FOR ITS TIME FOR DAYLIGHT TO TAKE COMMAND,
THE MOON FADES BECAUSE NOW THE SUN RISES IN,
BUT TONIGHT THE QUESTION REMAINS WILL GOOD OR EVIL WIN
