With bared teeth
You can see it everywhere
It lurks in the small things
Reaching for something greater
It can be subtle yet it's there
In me
In you
And wherever it goes it leaves devastation behind
It grows sometimes unnoticed
Sometimes overwhelming
It has to have it whatever the cost
It's mine, mine, mine alone
Greed
The greed that sleeps within us all
In me
In you
It knows no mercy
Where once a heart was there is poison now
Invisible it creeps closer
Striking when one is not careful
It grows, it feeds
Envy
The envy that dwells within us all
In me
In you
Throned upon the remains of her triumph
She sets her eyes on her next victim
Disdain is her sword
Insecurity her armor
I am so much better than you
You are nothing
Arrogance
The arrogance that rests within us all
In me
In you
In their chariots
They ride over us
We have sown the darkness
And now we reap total night
