The Beast

[Verse 1]

You can hear the thunder

Long before the storm

But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey

He's moving like a shadow

Creeping up on you

And like a siren's call, he's gonna have his way

You'd better run, forget your pride

Don't make a stand, just step aside

If you don't have what it takes

Don't try to play, you'll lose your stakes

Remember this at least

[Chorus]

It's the nature of the beast

It's the nature of the beast

[Verse 2]

You won't hear a footstep

Comin' up on you

Movin' like a snake, he's in complete control

This killer knows his business

He is the predator

You are his only target, you're his only goal

What will you say what will you do?

Your wildest nightmare's comin' true

There is nothing you can say

No way to change, he won't delay

This Cain will have his feast

[Chorus]

It's the nature of the beast

It's the nature of the beast

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

If you play, you're bound to lose

Don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws

Just listen to the priest

[Chorus]

It's the nature of the beast

It's the nature of the beast

It's the nature of the beast

It's the nature of the beast
