From the recording Eclipse of the Mind
Lyrics
"The Beast"
(Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster - Music: M. Novak)
You beat back the beast that caused you pain
But the thoughts always there, will it come back again
You can’t see it now it’s over the horizon
Teeth and claws flashing delivering poison
You lived through a nightmare it might not be your last
You may have had good history but that is the past.
The next beast appears will you be ready
Will the eclipse of your mind make you unsteady
CHORUS:
The beast hunts the world for it’s prey
It bares it’s teeth everyday
The beast changes it’s tactics so beware
You have weapons now don’t despair
Your shield has been forged from past wars
Your innocence lost this battle is yours
Look for an army of soldiers with weapons
Hoping that they’re strong and can’t be threatened
The beast can wear many disguises
A battle to the death only one survives
Even with a victory your still compromised
The beast has touch so many lives
Damn the Beast
CHORUS:
The beast has been vanquished once more
You’ve beat back the beast and evened the score
The battle is over thank the soldiers
They’ve carried you to victory on their wide shoulders
CHORUS:
