I am why the bell tolls rings,
full of death, pain and hurt,
filling hearts with tears of dread,
for I am why the bell tolls ring.
I am why the church gathers,
gaining support under God,
living through fear of me,
as I am evil's epitome.
I am why you succumb to crime,
hurting others for your gain,
I am the one who passes time,
making your end seem closer.
I am fear and loathing too,
filling your mind with confusion,
I am who makes you feel blue,
as I steal life's illusion.
