The Beast

The void, the emptiness

What is that to which drives our inner soul to feel its pain        

The loneliness of love we find hard existing        

The beast, he live's there hungering to eat 

The empty you fill, lurking in the the darkness 

Thriving on the bitterness of the hearts pureness    

There it dwells, eating at your fleshes desires     

Love, it's bitter of betray,anger and hearts stomp

Where is the taste, we endure to bestow and feast 

The Beast, it eats; I die as an awakening   

My eye's open, I do not see   

That of my death I experience 

What of the darkness? Is there life or just myth 

I hunger with thirst, I cry out in anger   

Love me never more that I may be set free

But love me yet or I die this day of my love for you  

That I only breathe the breath you take

That my life be yours til that day
