Beware the Beast
Substituting for you?
Is that what I'm supposed to do?
I woke to find myself alone
inside this shell,
this rancid home.
Am I supposed
to play the part....
A monster
with a broken heart?
Where has your lover up and gone?
Is that why I am so alone?
This mirrored face,
this mirrored form,
so far removed now from the norm,
This jagged soul feels no remorse
I cannot keep this beastly course.
Madness whispers in my ear,
come back! ,come home!
or else I fear,
These jaws of death must surely seek
an innocent so mild and meek,
there is a force
within these bones
driving,driving ,hear them moan?
or is that me ?
I cannot tell,
the blood,the bones,the rancid smell,
I feel the merging of my will,
the beast will out!
I feel the thrill,
the moon is rising up my spine,
beware the beast............
the night is mine!
