The Beast
It's a long while now following
That haunter that stalker that burden
Can't remember a time
It hasn't been
Slinging that web or dragging that net
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
And the evening as the day is through
No thoughts in the head but of the rain on the roof
Something hovers as a stale air
Can't smell it but can tell it's there
Melt the mask down to the soft places
Like snow banks receding leaving stink and decay
Spring mountain, naked spine
Cover is blown, skull is shining
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
Better you turn for to take your place
Stare into those eyes, look upon that face
Tear at the flesh
Peer in at the core
Lo the beast's lair will be no more
It's a long while now following
That haunter that stalker that burden
Can't remember a time
It hasn't been
Slinging that web or dragging that net
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
And the evening as the day is through
No thoughts in the head but of the rain on the roof
Something hovers as a stale air
Can't smell it but can tell it's there
Melt the mask down to the soft places
Like snow banks receding leaving stink and decay
Spring mountain, naked spine
Cover is blown, skull is shining
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
Better you turn for to take your place
Stare into those eyes, look upon that face
Tear at the flesh
Peer in at the core
Lo the beast's lair will be no more
That haunter that stalker that burden
Can't remember a time
It hasn't been
Slinging that web or dragging that net
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
And the evening as the day is through
No thoughts in the head but of the rain on the roof
Something hovers as a stale air
Can't smell it but can tell it's there
Melt the mask down to the soft places
Like snow banks receding leaving stink and decay
Spring mountain, naked spine
Cover is blown, skull is shining
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
Better you turn for to take your place
Stare into those eyes, look upon that face
Tear at the flesh
Peer in at the core
Lo the beast's lair will be no more
It's a long while now following
That haunter that stalker that burden
Can't remember a time
It hasn't been
Slinging that web or dragging that net
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
And the evening as the day is through
No thoughts in the head but of the rain on the roof

Melt the mask down to the soft places
Like snow banks receding leaving stink and decay
Spring mountain, naked spine
Cover is blown, skull is shining
The beast resides behind a thin skin
Behind a thin skin, behind a thin skin
The beast resides behind a thin skin
How come nobody can see in?
If you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Turn it away, turn it away
When you meet it someday
You can turn it away
Or invite it in to stay
Better you turn for to take your place
Stare into those eyes, look upon that face
Tear at the flesh
Peer in at the core
Lo the beast's lair will be no more
