The Beast Is Risen
So, you want to know what I am
Understand I am born of dreams
Nightmares of saints and the damned
Sweet music is that of fevered screams
There is no monster inside
Waiting, eagerly, for the feast
I will release the darkness
Know that I am the beast
Innocence, once so beautiful
Too beautiful to live
The shadow beyond the light
The beast is driven
Becomes the dragon in the night
The beast is risen
Sacrificing your first born
The beast is given
Sounding the hunting horn
The beast is risen
I'm heeding the call of the wild
And running with the hunting pack
Lay among the bones now piled
Staining my soul 'til it is pitch black
There is no monster inside
Know that my heart has long since ceased
At home within the shadows
Know that I am the beast
Seraphim weep at my passing
For I will bend no knee
Bards will sing my legend
While virgins moan of Heaven
Spires set to fire
By kings and liars
Faceless gods in shame
Always place the blame
Baptize in holy wash
The messiah on the cross
Behold the Lord of Flies
As the raven cries
In throes of agony
The beast will finally rise
Eagerly drinking poisoned wine
That's so green and hypnotic
The shadow beyond the light
The beast is driven
Becomes the dragon in the night
The beast is risen
Sacrificing your first born
The beast is given
Sounding the hunting horn
The beast is risen
Understand I am born of dreams
Nightmares of saints and the damned
Sweet music is that of fevered screams
There is no monster inside
Waiting, eagerly, for the feast
I will release the darkness
Know that I am the beast
Innocence, once so beautiful
Too beautiful to live
The shadow beyond the light
The beast is driven
Becomes the dragon in the night
The beast is risen
Sacrificing your first born
The beast is given
Sounding the hunting horn
The beast is risen
I'm heeding the call of the wild
And running with the hunting pack
Lay among the bones now piled
Staining my soul 'til it is pitch black
There is no monster inside
Know that my heart has long since ceased
At home within the shadows
Know that I am the beast
Seraphim weep at my passing
For I will bend no knee
Bards will sing my legend
While virgins moan of Heaven
Spires set to fire
By kings and liars
Faceless gods in shame
Always place the blame
Baptize in holy wash
The messiah on the cross
Behold the Lord of Flies
As the raven cries
In throes of agony
The beast will finally rise
Eagerly drinking poisoned wine
That's so green and hypnotic
The shadow beyond the light
The beast is driven
Becomes the dragon in the night
The beast is risen
Sacrificing your first born
The beast is given
Sounding the hunting horn
The beast is risen
