The Beast

With my own eyes, I saw it creeping. Crept up from shadows in the ground So small in size, but growing with each new life that it put out Oh, with teeth and claws like razors, it bids you sleep forever Takes you up to heaven or down into the depths Slowly, it will drag you, kill and disembowel you It will show you how to make earth into hell Because war breeds war, yes it goes on and on. Give your life and then it's gone With my own eyes I saw it moving. Ominous, it lumbers through the towns What brings up governments and economies ironically bring us all down Oh, the charges they are dropping, the gears they are all turning Slowly we are learning that we can't stop it now Oh, machines of war, so great no one could see that war has now become our biggest industry Because war breeds war, yes it goes on and on. Give your life and then it's gone With my own eyes With my own eyes I saw it plotting. Manipulate the hearts of men The violence broke out in a second and left so many millions dead Oh, the sand and the cement laid a dying mans lament was to fight and die for lies Oh to fight and die in vain The blind, they sing their song as the blonde follow along and the world runs red with bombs And as it sat amongst the wreckage, stomach engorged from flesh and bone With my own eyes, I saw it birthing it's children. The cycle now continues
