Out of shadowed corridors of fear
A beast awakens, draws us near
Claws like razors, eyes of flame
It whispers softly, calls my name
Beneath the moon's unyielding gaze
A primal force, a twisted haze
From the depths of a broken mind
It crawls out slowly, undefined
A specter from the edges blurred
By secrets dark, by voices heard
It thrives on shadows, feeds on pain
A cycle spun in endless chain
Beware the beast, the monster's breath
It heralds chaos, life and death
In dreams it stalks, in night it hides
A terror born where darkness bides
In the mirror's fractured frame
It wears the mask of guilt and shame
A phantom that we all create
Bound by fear and fueled by hate
In every scream, in every cry
A piece of us must surely die
Beware the beast, the monster's breath
It heralds chaos, life and death
In dreams it stalks, in night it hides
A terror born where darkness bides
