The Turning

What happens when the monster eats you whole? The vicious beast lurking deep within your soul The reason you’re afraid of the dark The reason your aim never stays true to the mark You become one with the wretched furious beast You grow horns and bare your fangs spawning forth from the blood feast So sweet the anger and despair of your darkest hour Roaring out into your cavernous mind scattering your thoughts, watch as they cower Evil is as evil does You are no longer the mind that was Controlled by this bestial rage The guards lay dead outside its broken cage Relentlessly stalking the halls Spraying crimson across these god forsaken walls Devouring logic and destroying reason Tonight you horrible creature, you’ll commit the highest treason Beware the broken man and the demon he’s become Don’t turn your back on the monster inside, for you and it are one
