[Intro ] Yeah… The evil that men do— Undo them. What you sow in the dark Can return in the noon. You think nobody sees, You think nobody knows, But every seed has a season And every deed has a dose. [Verse 1] The evil that men do, undo them, The chains that they forge may pursue them. They build up their walls just to rule them, Then wake up one day and the walls overrule them. Greed got a grip, but the grip got tighter, Power made the wicked man think he was brighter. He climbed up the ladder by stepping on others, Then found at the summit he had no brothers. Betrayal is a seed that grows in the heart, Plant it in another, it tears you apart. You can fool the people, you can play your part, But you cannot deceive the judgment of your heart. What goes around may come around, What goes underground may still be found. You can bury the truth beneath the ground, But truth has a way of breaking new ground. [Pre-Chorus ] You can run from the people, You can run from the law, You can hide from the mirror, But you can't hide from what you saw. Every action has a reaction, Every choice leaves a fraction, Every deed writes a story In the book of your own creation. [Chorus ] The evil that men do—undo them, What they build through evil may consume them. The evil that men do—undo them, What they sow in darkness comes to bloom them. No be every battle you fight you win, No be every smile you see is a grin. If you make evil your companion, One day evil go collect from you the bill. The evil that men do—undo them, The evil that men do—undo them. [Verse 2] Corruption wears a suit and tie, Sometimes it smiles while the innocent cry. It steals from the poor then asks them why, But every empire built on injustice must die. The politician promises heaven on earth, Then sells the future for whatever it's worth. He forgets that position is borrowed, not birth, And power without wisdom can bury its worth. The oppressor may sit on a golden throne, Surrounded by thousands but dying alone. He may own the palace, the money and stone, But evil can never give a man peace of his own. Some people destroy what they cannot create, Some celebrate when another man meets his fate. But envy is poison disguised as hate, And the hand that digs another's grave may seal its own fate. [Bridge ] Don't do evil because evil is trending, Don't break a heart just because you're pretending. Don't burn a bridge that you may need at the ending, Don't mistake your beginning for your ending. For every mountain, there's a valley below, For every river, there's somewhere to flow. For every seed that you choose to sow, There comes a season when the harvest will show. [Verse 3] So tell me, my brother, what legacy you leave? A throne built on fear or a world that believes? Will people remember the wounds that you gave, Or the lives that you lifted, the souls that you saved? You can have money but still be poor, Have many followers but still lack a door. You can conquer nations and still lose the war If you conquer the world but lose your soul. Don't let your anger become your master, Don't let your pride make your downfall faster. The higher you climb, the greater the danger When you use your fellow man like a ladder. Life is a mirror; be careful what you show, The face that you hide is the face that you know. You may fool the world for a season or so, But eventually, the truth will overthrow. [Chorus ] The evil that men do—undo them, The very seeds they sow may consume them. The evil that men do—undo them, The very chains they forge may pursue them. Do good when nobody's watching you, Speak truth when nobody's backing you. Lift somebody when nobody's clapping you, 'Cause what you give to life may come back to you. The evil that men do—undo them, The evil that men do—undo them. [Outro — Spoken] The evil that men do… May not undo them today. May not undo them tomorrow. But every deed leaves a footprint. Every seed has a harvest. Every action writes a consequence. So remember: The evil that men do, undo them. And sometimes… the evil we do to others is the trap we build for ourselves.
