So Very Deep This Beast Lays

So Very Deep This Beast Lays Under the darkness of earth, a cavern lays Great evil rests within, in an eternal rage Mortal man cries for help and this sadly prays That this demon never gets to go on a rampage! Earth trembles as it claws into solid stone Cries of anger coming from its fiery head Knowing it can briefing come when we are alone We cry out, save us for we are soon to be dead! Once every month granted one hour of escape Evil beasts roams the world devouring its few In dark places dressed in top hat and black cape It awaits to slay and devour both me and you! Brief freedom given, return it is forced to do Back into God's deep dark prison cell to hide Great Hope living, if the beast never finds you Few ever can survive its vicious, slashing pride! Careful to be silent and watch your every step Monster waits to come forth to grab its prey If you are the victim, only this will ever help Look up, fall on knees, pray God forces it away! Robert J.
