Lyrics
The Beast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is always a knife hanging over my head
Dread and misery always wait ahead
The beast is panting in the shadows of my past
As fast as I may run, it will catch me, devour me
Now trembling
I can hardly walk straight
I feel it near
It smells my fear
I am shivering
How could I ever ignore
This calamity
Living in me
There is always a knife hanging over my head
Dread and misery always wait ahead
The beast is panting in the shadows of my past
As fast as I may run, it will catch me, devour me
So I surrender to my hideous desires
For I can run but never hide
For destruction is sweet creation
I may be vile, but never weak
