The Wicked Man

The wicked man whispers in our ears  
Tempting us with the world's riches  
If we accept his deal success is near  
And we receive all of our wishes  
 
He shares thoughts unknown  
Secrets from beyond the universe  
A chance to sit on our own thrones  
Just a small sacrifice for this curse  
 
He speaks with a forked tongue  
Conniving us with his trickery  
He will trade age for the young  
Selling snake oil outside our periphery  
 
The wicked man lies are embellished  
Convincing us fiction is fact  
Basking in his ego he relished  
While our lives derail off track  
 
The wicked man becomes stronger  
With the more souls he collects  
His reign of terror lasts longer  
The more he acquires subjects  
 
The wicked man is finally here  
Standing next to us face to face  
With the end of the world so near  
We follow him just in case  
 
He's promised he'll set us free  
He's promised us a new beginning  
Just as long as we agree  
We will get tired of so much winning  
 
The wicked man has manipulated  
Our minds are lost and gone  
Trading love now filled with hatred  
Seperating families we are left alone  
 
But the wicked man doesn't care  
About his collection of minions  
They are left lost filled with despair  
And thoughtless illogical opinions  
 
As the wicked man rises to power  
Time is quickly running out  
We are down to our final hours  
Poisoned even the most devout  
 
The wicked man is finally here  
The end of times has arrived  
Voyaged in this new frontier  
Revelations the past has contrived
