Necessary Evil by Ceeder - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – spoken, low]

Goodness is a luxury.

And I was never rich.

[Verse 1]

Altruism is a myth sold cheap to the weak,

The world doesn’t reward intent, it respects teeth,

Every moral I carried became leverage used,

Every truth I spoke got twisted as proof.

People don’t break you by accident, it’s design,

Predators recognize kindness as a sign,

You don’t lose faith all at once—it erodes,

Like stone under water, like flesh under codes.

[Pre-Chorus]

If good men suffer more than thieves,

Then virtue is just poor strategy,

I didn’t turn cold—I learned,

Fire doesn’t ask permission to burn.

[Chorus – Ceeder War Cry | cold, sharp | repeat twice]

I declare war on a world that feeds on the weak,

No mercy in my blood, no faith left to speak,

I sharpen my soul into iron and teeth,

If this is evil—then evil is me.

[Verse 2]

Hope is a sedative, truth is a blade,

Conscience hesitates, violence doesn’t wait,

Society praises restraint in speech,

But bows to force when order leaks.

History doesn’t remember the kind,

It records who imposed their will in time,

Every empire was built on a lie:

That peace comes first—no, power does.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

If empathy slows reaction speed,

Then empathy is a liability,

I didn’t lose my soul to rage—

I archived it for emergency.

[Chorus – Ceeder War Cry | repeat twice]

I declare war on a world that feeds on the weak,

No mercy in my blood, no faith left to speak,

I sharpen my soul into iron and teeth,

If this is evil—then evil is me.

[Bridge – spoken / breakdown]

Evil isn’t born, it’s engineered.

When systems punish virtue and reward force,

Adaptation stops being a choice.

This isn’t corruption—

It’s natural selection with a human face.

I didn’t become the monster to dominate,

I became it because extinction was the alternative.

[Final Chorus – last repetition, full force]

I declare war on a world that feeds on the weak,

No mercy in my blood, no faith left to speak,

I sharpen my soul into iron and teeth,

I declare war on a world that feeds on the weak,

No mercy in my blood, no faith left to speak,

I sharpen my soul into iron and teeth,

If this is evil....(If this is evil.....)

If this is evil.....

If this is evil.....

If this is evil—then evil is me.
