[verse 1] When you're trapped with no way out, And danger circles all about, You pray it’s evil holding you tight, For evil waits, but the good won’t fight. [verse 2] An evil man will taunt and sneer, Drawing out your darkest fear. He’ll revel in your desperate plea, stretching your pain for all to see. [verse 3] A good man’s hand won’t hesitate, He won’t delay or contemplate. His justice swift, his aim is true, No mercy given, no chance for you. [chorus] Hope for evil, they crave control, They gloat and sneer, let fear take hold. But a good man won’t let you plead, His silence strikes with ruthless speed. [verse 4] When you face a good man’s gaze, It’s over quick, no chance to phaze. He doesn’t play with the power he wields, He ends it all, no words as shields. [verse 5] In evil’s grasp, you might survive, For they toy and tease to feel alive. But when it’s good that holds you fast, Know that your next breath will be your last. [verse 6] So when you're caught and hope is slim, Pray it's evil, not a heart less grim. For evil gives you time to see, But the good hand sets you free. [chorus] Hope for evil, they crave control, They gloat and sneer, let fear take hold. But a good man won’t let you plead, His silence strikes with ruthless speed.
