Altering The Beast

I've walked the path, I've searched the hallowed grounds I seek forbidden knowledge, I walk the path! It started with discovery Curious tome of the unexplained This moment I was not prepared Unleash the darkness Within these pages lay despair Unbeknownst this unholy affair Instincts tell me these are The workings of a nightmare Hands shake as I caress the spine These tattered pages are now mine Subdued by these concepts, becoming a slave Unaware that this book condemned me to the grave There was no turning back I've become a hollow shell There was no turning back I let the power take control This is my work, refining the strain Upon these pages lay chaotic scribblings of a man gone insane Anticipate the forthcoming feast Augmenting the madness, behold Altering the beast The man was weak for letting this power take complete control Complete control I feel my innards start to rot Pain of hunger's what I've got With great efficiency I cut Exhilaration from the hunt Having succumb to the curse Animalistic urges take hold Humanity deteriorated My fair maiden, your flesh is the sweetest Oh what have I committed, these obscenities My one true love, I will bury you at dawn But I wouldn't oppose another slice of meat from your corpse There was no turning back I've become a hollow shell There was no turning back I let the power take control This is my work, refining the strain Upon these pages lay chaotic scribblings of a man gone insane Anticipate the forthcoming feast Augmenting the madness, behold perfection This is my work, refining the strain Upon these pages lay chaotic scribblings of a man gone insane Anticipate the forthcoming feast Augmenting the madness, behold Altering the beast
