There are demons and evil spirits
Lurking in the shadows of our minds and hearts
Some small forgotten corner is where it starts
It only takes a single little crack
For the evil to take root and attack
It eats away slowly, carefully biding its time
And, until it is too late, you think you are fine
It starts small: softening the edges
Bit by bit shifting and driving wedges
It is a poison sweeping through
A silent, deadly killer it is true
But worst of all it affects the greater whole
It takes a soul as pure and white as snow
And works to turn it black as coal
There is no cure for this disease
It is part of our Human Condition
But with careful care and treatment
This cancer can go into remission
There is a way that we can fight
Tools and medicine to battle the blight
The Rosary: blazing cord of burning truth
Evil screams and flees in proof
Prayer and praise our armor and shield
To protect us on the battlefield
Calling down Great Heaven's Might
Saints and Angels put foes to flight
Holy men and women we have known
Show us always; we do not fight alone
Commanding the evil in the name of the Lord
We Rebuke Renounce and Cast Out
And, by the Mercy and Grace of God's own Son,
May goodness and peace be restored
