altered beast i

i think i see

an altered beast by the tree

oh

take a peek

if you would dare

half made of man

half of bear

he came from underneath

i met an altered beast

i think i see

an altered beast by the creek

oh

altered face

and altered skin

altered horde

of altered kin

he came from underneath

i met an altered beast

i think i see

an altered beast in my dreams

in a dream

you can wake in your bed without pain

but know with conviction

it's here you'll remain

i met an altered beast

with an unsteady gait

the critter moves forth

feel his rhythm as he tramples the earth

and you stare at his figure

stupefied in dread

as his gaze locks to yours and bores into your head

and the pulse is so loud on the inside of your brain

and you find that your feet are stuck to the terrain

closer he comes

making dust out of stone

forsaken you are

and what's more

all alone

i think i see

an altered beast by the tree

oh

i met an altered beast
