An Evil Sleeps

By: Alexander Taylor
The world I know continues on,
To end, again, where new begins.
In peace and harmony it be,
But not for long you'll see.

For in our minds, an evil sleeps,
Ravaging 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 stain the ground.
Villains seek to cause our dread
And make our hearts all 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 men of light will smite the night,
Which tried to damn our men.
With swords of light, and shields of might,
They bring us hope again.

The world I know continues on,
To end, again, where new begins.
In peace and harmony it be,
as long as heroes take the lead.
