"The Beast" lyrics

"The Beast"

I was the prince of the rose
Where the supernature grows
'Til the rogue kingdom come
And the garden bulldozed

Said the damsel to distress
I refuse to wear your dress
Nor afford you ten years sleep
Nor in you turret can me keep

I've been so long worrying
What I was doing wrong
I forgot my rights
You banished me
To the border
Then you hate
What I became to survive

No table at the feast
But my place is certain
You can not spare me the peace
So I become the beast"

I am the witch in your wall
So mote it be your castle fall
As I return stone by stone
Your humiliation ritual

Said the jester to the king

Your boots I'm no longer licking
Tonight I reclaim my tongue
I am not your weapon
I've been so long worrying
What I was doing wrong
I forgot my rights
You banished me
To the border
Then you hate
What I became to survive

No table at the feast
But my place is certain
You can not spare me the peace
So I become the beast

I don't owe you an explanation
Of the nature of the beast that I've become

But I'm not the only one
Yes it's all the rage
All the rage
And we become
The...

All the rage...
All the rage...
