The Evil Beside You - Jon Oliva's Pain

When we were young but never told

How the world could be so cold

As we change from young to old

The night takes us away

The night takes us away

As the day falls to the night

Then we take the stage

Play the game of life

Where everyone’s just trying to succeed

At dawn as the day begins

To weave our way through a world of sin

Temptation only leads to agony

And I can feel you tired, starving

Try to break though

Feel the weight of the world upon you

There’s nothing but Evil beside you

Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you

Another day just trying to get through

Live, love at times we grieve

But there’s so much more that we really need

Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies

Scratch, claw just to survive

Have to fight our way through this world of lies

Just so we can feed our families

And I can feel you tired, starving

Try to break through

Feel the weight of the world upon you

There’s nothing but Evil beside you

Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you

Another day just trying to get through
