Cage the Beast By Kenny Davis

Cage the Beast by Kenny Davis Lord, in Jesus’ name Please cage the beast Causing all of my heartache And pain to cease Please bind these feelings Locked in a cage In hopes on concealing This fiery rage What are these many factors Which torture me so Endlessly causing the feeling Of despair to grow The fear of what should happen If it is to ever to be unleashed Feeling the wrath and scorn Of soul of this tormented beast I feel it lying Hidden beneath the skin Lord, keep this monster Buried deep within Itching to get out And let loose its pain Heart full of vengeance Soul of distain Hatred and scorn rules Where this beast currently dwells Hoping to get out so that it may One day on world unleash its hell What might have been done Or so horribly said For this untamed beast to claim To hear voices in its head Lord, all these people Are driving me insane Can’t avoid these ruthless images From piercing my brain What’s to hold me back From my potential insanity What’s to hold me back My plague upon humanity What’s to hold me back From my destructive path Who’s to stop me Shall the world feel my wrath It’s often hard to measure the depth Of the pain of one’s heart Exactly how much it’s been battered Bruised, broken, or terribly scarred It’s complicated to determine The darkness of one’s soul The depth of its anguish Of its internal black hole What shall hold the beast back If the world pushes me too far What’s to hold it back If it’s free of those cage bars Lord, what am I to do With this agony inside While these animalistic intentions Darken the depths of my mind I can only take, but only so much I can only hold it in for so long But to provoke this beast Is terribly wrong So Lord I ask you, I beg you To continue to cage this rabid beast In hopes that the world might continue To live on in peace © August 2010 k.davis
