The Lure of the Beast
Each night he stares up at the moon and watches as it peeks
Through many wispy, floating clouds as both play hide and seek
His human heart tormented by the demon in his soul
A part of him fights to break free, the other to be whole
Soon the man will be transformed and he will roam the night
No longer can he fight the urge, his will too weak to fight
Although he wants so desperately to quell the beast within
Temptation always dominates and he succumbs to sin
The lure to be a savage beast is burning in his blood
So strong are the emotions like a raging, river flood
The man has given in and now until the morning sun
The two parts run together, man and monster joined as one
