The Demon on my Shoulder

Kill, it tells me, destroy all in your path
This is the only way you will survive the fight
Why should we worry about someone's vengeful wrath
The last one standing will be the only one to go home tonight

These monsters in front of me are not what they seem
Once humans who, like me, were ready to fight
Against the world's evils to fulfill all their dreams
Who also had people to come home to at night

Don't think, the voice says, what good will it do
When it'll distract you from winning the fight
If that happens your life will surely be through
And you won't be able to go back home tonight

Even though it hurts I will not hold back
So I will be able to win this long fight
My old comrades, I have no choice but to attack
So I can be home with the one I love tonight
