There is an evil creature,
Deep inside me
More than just a character
I can feel him here
My Lust and my Greed
They were his seed
My Hate and everything Cruel
That is his fuel
He is a madman
While I strive to be a good man
A demon in his own right
I can only try to fight
But I never win
To this creature of Sin
I am not pure
But I'm the best I can be
This much is sure
All the evil inside of me
That's what he will show
No matter how often I say no
But it isn't just me
Open your eyes and see
He lives inside you
Feel it - it is True
Deep within us
Full of Hate and Lust
He is more than just a character
You can feel him in your soul here
And because he lives deep inside
No one can hide from Hyde

Jekyll and Hyde. An amazing story, wonderful musical, and more than just a fictional tale. There is an Edward Hyde living within all of us. Ever steal something, hurt someone, give into lust, do something bad...knowing it was wrong...and didn't look back until later? That is Hyde. our darker half, our bad thoughts and choices, our inner evil breaking the surface. Everybody wants to do good, tries to do good, at least to some extent...but our darker half is hard to resist. Imagine being able to do anything, bad or good, whenever you wanted, without a shred of remorse or guilt...that is Hyde. That is you. That is me. It is in all of us, we feel it everyday in our souls, and in our hearts. You can't hide from Hyde.
