Skin of Evil
Crashlanded shuttle, on a planet devoid of life
Away team is sent to rescue Counselor Troi
No warning, no reason
Tasha struck down dead
Killed for amusement by a being who feels no shame

The emotions of a race of beings seeking freedom from sin
Cast out in the form of a creature who lives on Vagra II

No redemption, no salvation
Darkness is his home
Left here for centuries, rotting inside
The evil of an ancient race
Malevolent, vicious, destructive, corrosive
Blackened, devoid of light
Armus is death, Armus is hate, Armus is cruelty

A second team is sent
Riker engulfed
The captain beams down
To negotiate with the being
Confronting his rage
Armus is weakening
Back on the ship
The crew mourns the loss of a friend
The emotions of a race of beings seeking freedom from sin
Cast out in the form of a creature who lives on Vagra II

No redemption, no salvation
Darkness is his home
Left here for centuries, rotting inside
The evil of an ancient race
Malevolent, vicious, destructive, corrosive
Blackened, devoid of light
Armus is death, Armus is hate, Armus is cruelty
