A Lesson In Evil

I try to escape from the shadows at night
It's following me wherever I go
It's like someone is breathing behind
My own reflection has turned into my foe

I hear his voice as he speaks unto me
"I made a torment, you will never be free
Do you know the difference between the pain?
If there is sunshine, then I am the rain
Can you remember? Can you recall?
You put the noose around my neck
I won't surrender until you fall
You will obey"

I'm from the other side
I have come to teach you pain
I give a lesson in evil from the other side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And I have come here to reign
I'm from the other side
I have come to teach you pain
I give a lesson in evil from the other side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And you know I have come here to reign

It makes this noise that will never stop
I will be strong and never give it up
My shadow's dragging like a magnet field
There's no return, the maze has been sealed

Can you remember? Can you recall?
You said it would be such an innocent game
You're the offender and now you crawl
And you obey

I'm from the other side
I have come to teach you pain
I give a lesson in evil from the other side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And you know I have come here to reign

I wonder where we're going
We're getting closer to the hill
In the forest of nightmares
Will we do the same again?

Will he see me hanging
Just like the way he did?
And will he see me in my life
Just the way I am in his?

Hide and seek of life and death
Now it's my turn to see you gasp for your last breath
My friend

I'm from the other side
I have come to teach you pain
I give a lesson in evil from the other side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And I have come here to reign
I'm from the other side
I have come to teach you pain
I give a lesson in evil from the other side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And you know I have come here to reign

There is this noise in my head
That forces me to do things I do not want to
I hear him say, "I want your body dead
So that I can be reborn
It's my turn to live now
I've been here in this place that
Turns Hell into Heaven for too long now
I will have access to your mind
And I will get what I want"
