Lady don't you see?
The Evil lurks behind you.
You can pretend not to see,
but it's standing right beside you.
A veiled threat behind your eyes,
scratching behind closed doors.
And still you pretend not to realize
what a threat has anchored on your shores
Oh Lady please, ignore me no more,
For someday it will destroy you.
