I do believe I've met a demon
It entered on a freight ship in the arbour
Disinterred, I in fright slipped through the back door
Into the backroom of the parlour
Only to see it lie in waiting
So I hastened into armour
To fight or flee, debating
While hidden amongst the weapons, wondering if there are more
I do believe I've met a demon
And I do believe that we've all seen it
But our hearts and minds have secrets
And so we just try to disbelieve it
But there's no doubt that we perceive it
I do believe I've met a demon
And I do believe that it's eternal
And I do believe that it's infernal
But I do not know if it's ethereal
Or merely a manifestation of the internal
So tell me have you met the demon?
