The Creature

I'll read you one last story before you go to sleep
Of a king who thought that he could rule anything
'Til one day a creature from down below
Spawned violently and it changed everything
All of my men are dead now I must do this alone
I gotta keep my confidence to protect my home
I will march!
Leave it! Leave it be something is telling me
I just wanna believe that I can succeed
In conquering anything
Entering the cave I feel my mind changing
I see movement in the darkness
The size of my enemy tells me
I better run for my life!
I awake dazed, and I can't remember a single thing
My body is oozing it's all so confusing
As it comes back to me panic sinks in
Where is it?
Covered in blood, my mind turns to mud
As I hear it creeping closer
Back and forth my mind is racing what will I do?
So many bones are broken I can hardly move
Help! I need help! Please someone fucking help me!
No one can hear, all alone as I die right here in fear
Rotting on the bones of my brothers
Inches away I think it's toying with me!
Rotting on the bones of my brothers
I know that this is my fault and why I'm stuck here
I shouldn't believe that I can succeed in conquering anything
Now I'm not a king! Will never be a king!
And these thoughts pierce me like a bee-sting
Why lie when I've already lost it all?
Don't live your life foolish
Don't live your life foolish
Don't live your life foolish
Don't live your life foolish
