Evil Does Not Truly Sleep
by Michael Doyle

Evil does not truly sleep
It merely waits
Out there in the darkness deep
Gone unseen, it seals our fate

Only in the blessed is there rest
In the secrets where it's confessed
That hearts must find their healing
Bringing truth behind what's revealing

That the past lives with us all
And comes without need as we recall
That the truth may be found 
Somewhere deep within the sound

Reducing whispers to what we can barely hear
To try to find our way to pacify our fear
These are the tragedies that bring death
Yet, carry hope unto our last breaths
