Lyrics

The Beast Within

He prowls late at night his looks evil and grim
I lay in my room shaking waiting for him
Runs his long black nails right outside the walls
Climbs through my window in no time at all
His ghoulish red eyes and long pointed ears
Claws reach out to me fangs shine as he nears
The moonlight peeks on the eyes of the beast, I'm paralyzed stiff as his howl is released
Caught in limbo or a bad dream or maybe in between

Chorus
I wake up to a message from beyond, I'll guide my life where it belongs
Take this event and force the change, my priorities will re-arrange
We need something to wake us all up, can't get ahead with your eyes shut
Take hold of your life it's a fight you can win, but first be prepared to kill the beast within

The lies and deceit you must leave all behind
Hurdles you conceive only live in your mind
Decisions that break you all the could-have-beens
Regrets in your past that kept you boxed in
Monsters we create always prey when you're weak
We often then get what we unconsciously seek
Be true to yourself follow paths that you chose and learn to deal with life's ebbs and flows
Time to leave dark shadows in the past and be free at last

Last Chorus
I wake up to a message from beyond, I'll guide my life where it belongs
Take this event and force the change, my priorities will re-arrange
We need something to wake us all up, can't get ahead with your eyes shut
Take hold of your life it's a fight you can win, now go and kill the beast within
