The Lady Acorns - The Beast Of Torr Vale Lyrics

In the desolate depths
Of torr vale's gloom
Lurks a beast entwined with the moon
Cloaked in the shadows
Bounding through the dark
Patiently waiting to tear you apart
You've bared your doors and locked your windows
As you have to do every night
But tell me do you think this will keep the beast out
If he wanted to slip inside
Strike a match and light your pipe
Watch for the fading light
As darkness creeps by your side
Screams echo through the night
Delightful cries of fright
You listen close as they breathe their last
You've set your fire and drawn your curtains
Your nightly ritual remains
But tell me how long do you think it will be till you're his prey
Check your pocket watch
Two hours till dawn break
But is it already too late
Snarls at the window
Growls cut through the still
Your blood starts to chill
Your door creaks as his silhouette looms
A specter of death in the dim-lit room
Inching through the dark, escape in sight
Wishing to see dawn's first light
You leap from your window
Glass shatters all around
Hoping the beast didn't hear a sound
Stumbling through the woods
Time keeps on its tick
Praying the beast isn't so quick
A brief glance down at your watch's case
Dawn should be nearing to cease this chase
Warm breath on your nape stale and foul
In a dying scowl you turn to face your fate
But find yourself in dawn's soft embrace
