An Evil Sleeps

By: Alexander Taylor
The world I know continues on,
And ends, you see, where it began.
In peace and harmony it be,
But not for long you see.

For in our minds, an evil sleeps,
Appearing in our dreams,
And if we wait, it will wake,
And all will fear and scream.

War will rage, the world will change,
And blood will dye the ground.
Necromancers raise the dead
And all our hearts will pound.

But in our minds also lie
An urge to do good deeds,
And from the ranks, heroes rise
To take their brothers’ leads.

These Paladins will smite the evils
That once were our own people.
Now that the light begins to grow,
The darkness starts to slow...

The world I know continues on,
And ends, you see, where it began.
In peace and harmony it be,
But not for long, you see...
