How many times I had believed Evil rapped my door But many years Passed on by; now I'm not as sure. There is a haze That never clears Looking through a hole And so, to see, We implement Clarity of soul And reaching back To harder times T'was not evil no A lesser thing A lesser threat Came, but it did go. And now the knocks Come just as much But I can just ignore No heightened sense No skipping beat To raps upon my door. I let them come And let them go Never see their face There's no desire To know just what Calls upon my place For I am old And deaf and blind And I care no more Whether evil Whether angels Rap upon my door.
