The Invisible Enemy
Our invisible friend creeps around,
Sending shivers down our spine.
He infects, kills, steals lives,
Upon his victims, he sits to dine.
If you think that you are safe,
Think not, for his heart is cold as ice.
Anyone could die,
And it depends upon the roll of the dice.
People of this planet!
Heed this message loud and clear!
With his scissors he cuts the line,
He kills those who do not fear.
He kills those who do not fear.
He strikes down his opponents,
Crosses them off his map.
Nothing we do will stop him,
We're all mice in his trap.
For months he's made his case,
Taking thousands of lives.
He reaps all of the wounded souls,
With his unseen knives.
He tears down all remaining hope,
He will cause millions to die.
Finding the weak spots of his victims,
Laughing at their cries.
Plead all you want,
He really doesn't care.
Sucking up peoples lives,
Their essence he will tear.
