Darkness Quote by The Undertaker
“Once, evil was simply perceived as that which man did not understand. Now however, he understands it all too well. Evil is the part of man he attempts to shun. A side of himself he seeks to deny. Everything man is determined to destroy can be found within his own heart. Tonight the reckoning is upon us, tonight darkness will seize the land, destroy all that you hold dear, and make play things of your heroes. Steve Austin, Behold my awesome powers, I come to you tonight laden with sin, seething with evil. Tonight I will strip you of that which you hold dear, then I will devour your soul. For I am the reaper of men, the chaser of souls, the weaver of nightmares, the heart of darkness. I am now and ever will be the purity of evil, and all encompassing darkness from which there is no mercy, no hope, and no escape.”
