From a Monster's Prayer

I know I am a beast inside, for I have sinned and I have lied. How many tortured nights I've tried down on my knees to pray. Out of the well springs of my soul, I rant to heaven "Make me whole!" but ancient spells still have a hold, down to this very day. A beast I am A beast I'll be until you show your grace to me, for I have gone astray. The midnight hour comes on so fast, and I must find my next repast, then some poor soul will breathe it's last............... before the break of day.
