It doesn't always have a shape

Almost never does it have a name

It maybe has a pitchfork, maybe has a tail

But evil is alive and well It might walk upright from out of the inferno

Maybe coming horseback through deep snow

It's ragged and fat, it's hungry as hell

Evil is alive and well Evil is alive, evil is well

Evil is alive, evil is well

On your feet to the tower and yell

Evil is alive and well Maybe too humble to wanna speak

May have a blood soaked bird in its teeth

Smoked filled skies and bees in the well

Evil is alive and well Now maybe in a palace, maybe in the streets

Maybe here among us on a crowded beach

It maybe asleep in a roadside motel

But evil is alive and well Evil is alive, evil is well

Evil is alive, evil is well

On your feet to the tower and yell

Evil is alive, it's well Down in every ditch

Up on every hill, it's well

I've got my radio on drowning the bells When midnight's done and the day won't start

And all I ever gave you was a broken heart

It's hard to admit but it's easy to tell

That evil is alive and well Evil is alive, evil is well

Evil is alive, evil is well

On your feet to the tower and yell

That evil is alive and well Evil is alive, it's well

Evil is alive, it's well

Evil is alive and well
