Wampus Beast

The blue silver visage of the moon sets forth its uncanny light But it might not be only thing uncanny this night Or is it just a giant animal that gives people such fright With its orange eyes glowing in pitch dark night There is something frightening too About not being able to see something that can see you Something blending perfectly with night because of its hue Something that has claws making imprints with blood flowing like morning dew Chasing wampus beast with guns and hunter thinks he has it in a bind But suddenly he hears soul shaking, bone chilling roar from behind And it is now hunter who is in the bind He shoots his gun but in the night he is almost blind Eyes are the most unique feature Of this terrifying creature But do they belong to animal or something formed at demonic altar Or is it still something else explaining its ability to avoid capture? The awe inspiring beast has its majesty Like it could taste immortality But it is a dark visage eyes depth of dread being beyond soul absolute continuity That is their powers measure and they will make you face your own mortality
