Lyrics for Altered Beast IV

You don't feel a thing in your sinuous head No love, no pain, and no fear of dread Your apathetic dispassion has made you distort And your savoir faire is to kill for sport You'd wound a small creature and watch it wiggle And lust to feel so bad, that you'd force a giggle So crooked and curled is your point of view There is no other creature more malicious than you I'm completely satisfied My other life I will not miss An altered beast until I die And I will not give up on this Never! True, I went to hell and back But it was so I could be this An altered beast until the end And I will not give up on this Never! I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast protect me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything You're ruthless, and savage, and sadistic, and vindictive And you find human flesh is incredibly addictive But the longer you live, and the longer you kill There's a void that gets harder, and harder to fill The void that you feel within would suggest That a canyon has opened up inside of your chest And whatever you do, there's no turning back You've reached the end of the cul-de-sac Emptiness inside of me And hollowness all around me I cut myself to see it bleed And now I don't feel anything Never! Insincere and trivial The world is void of all meaning And God is so less visceral And now I don't feel anything Never! I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast protect me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast protect me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything The sole thing that will make your void obsolete Is to find someone new, some sapid, fresh meat Altered beast, alter me Altered beast, alter me I think I see An Altered Beast Inside me I am an Altered Beast
