"The Beast" lyrics

"The Beast"

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go

I can sense it opening the front door as we came in
You were burning a hole in my back
Can we turn this around from where we lost you in the evening
Before things get out of hand
One by one, eyes go arctic, we're becoming the beast
Sheer power and the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from a kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go

All fired up, you're a hot mess getting messier
I'd do anything for sleep
But I can think of far better ways to waste your energy
If you can bare to still touch me
One by one, skin hardens, we're becoming the beast
Sheer power in the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are screaming the house down, going for the kill from a kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Have we left, have we left the building?
Did we die a little death?
Is this the end of the road for us, no more bridges for us to burn left?
Do we finally find ourselves at the point of no return?

One by one, we're becoming the beast
Sheer power in the heat of hate brings our army to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from a kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go
