THE BEAST.

Lyrics for THE BEAST.

I've been everywhere, up, down and strange I set the trap and put the hog in chains You are not alone, but you are invisible The hog escapes the chains again Running through the town and the people Spinning in the invisible middle Swaying in the sweat and dribble A drawn blade on a silent fiddle Crouched in the weeds I am the beast Pleading on my four knees Lick the wound but every time I move it bleeds The blood feeds But each bleed leaves more need Man pleads Counts his wants on the beads Death breeds He scatters seeds and leaves pleased Close your eyes and ride that bomb to the sky Ten reasons why you were right Ten thousand more why you didn't even try The cracked window sighs Let's go round another ten thousand times If I act like I cannot see they will take my eyes Ten thousand reasons why I was right Ten thousand more why I didn't even try If you act like you cannot see I will take your eyes There's always more to realise The more you know you don't know the more you know The more you know you don't know the more you know The more you know you don't know the more you know Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Down the line Crouched in the weeds I am the beast Pleading on my four knees Lick the wound but every time you move it bleeds The blood feeds But each bleed leaves more need Man pleads Counts his wants on the beads Death breeds He scatters seeds and leaves pleased Close your eyes and ride that bomb to the sky Ten thousand reasons why you were right Ten thousand more why you didn't even try The cracked window sighs Let's go round another ten thousand times If I act like I cannot see they will take my eyes Ten thousand reasons why I was right Ten thousand more why I didn't even try If you act like you cannot see I will take your eyes There's always more to realise The more you know you don't know the more you know The more you know you don't know the more you know The more you know you don't know the more you know Down the line
