Something takes over without warning. It's a beast inside of me, Why the 'of'?

fighting to get out.
-We all have our inner demons, but we must learn
to control them.
-I'm trying, father,
the best way I know how. I drive through Metropolis at night, searching for a way
to save myself. And when i find someone who's
lost their way, I reach out. Helps them? When I stop the wickedness
that I see...it keeps the beast from coming out.

-Stay on your righteous path,
my son. Be not overcome of evil. Do not let evil overcome you? And does that sentence sound right?

But overcome evil...with good.
