The Beast in Me

~~Do you hear it
Do you feel it
It’s rising in me
Do you not see
The beast in me

Oh the howling
Bloody feeling
Flesh to tear
Reason to fear
Oh the raging

Look at the moon
There is no room
For humanity in me
Because all I see
Is the beast in me

Run from this monster
I’m getting warmer
Tis not just
Oh the bloodlust
Am I this monster

No salvation
Only damnation
My obliteration
Desecration
And annihilation

Has it come to this
Could I save myself
Something is changing me
It’s a crimson moon
So run, from the beast in me
