Lyrics

Beast That Never Was

[Verse 1]

You're the veil in the morning blue

I couldn't sleep, I was thinking

Of you, of you

You'll be the keeper of trees and light

The elemental residing

With a cool wind blowing

[Chorus]

Keep something back

Something back

Keep something back

Something back

Beast that never was

Here between two worlds

[Verse 2]

You threw the arrows, you threw the knife

They spun around and went back into you, to you

Shimmering in the full Moon's path

All blood and rhythm, you're running

Through trees to me

[Chorus]

Keep something back

Something back

Keep something back

Something back

Beast that never was

Here between two worlds
