Sleeping Beast

A grueling question grows in my throat
It stays their merciless as it strangles, tearing into my flesh
It seeps; I hear it breath; I feel its heartbeat
I’ve felt this before, I know this ghost, a man crushed by the world

You’ve awoken a sleeping beast, now you’re in its path
You’ve awoken a sleeping beast; you’ll be the focus of its wrath

It all ends; there’s no redemption
For all those who seek the salvation of the innocent; the cruelest joke indeed
They await their slaughter, gagged with their hands bound reaching into the heavens in vain
Their dreams lay beneath the ground
I’ve felt this before, I know this ghost, a man crushed by the world

You’ve awoken a sleeping beast; you’re in the presence of death
You’ve awoken a sleeping beast; here you’ll meet your end
You’ve awoken a sleeping beast, now you’re in its path
You’ve awoken a sleeping beast; you’ll be the focus of its wrath

Here you’ll meet your end
