In The Claws Of The Wild Beast

In the name of forsaken humanity,
my grievous fingers pen down and paginate.
for the sake of a twisted progeny,
i will scar and dent and lacerate.

Behold! the ferocious wild beast ascends!
out of the sea of mankind he ascends!
up from the dusts of humanity it rises.
straight to the throne of deceit it proceeds.

With its sharp claws,
it proceeds into the brittle hearts of men
to extract, exact and extort.
and once again man, like a child, is deceived.

Aura and charisma looms,
as he paces up and down the stage;
as he speaks brazenly ...
