"Beast Of Gévaudan" lyrics

"Beast Of Gévaudan"

Beast of Gévaudan
Feared no sword and feared no gun
Sent from Heaven, the seventh of creatures
Beast of Gévaudan
For the wrath of God to come
Came to sanction the mass and the preachers

Hunted by hundreds and never to be caught
He's sent to wander, bring terror and take 'em all beyond

To the Father and the Son
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
Terminator, a traitor, half wolf and half machine
To the prior and the nun
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
A redeemer, believer, all fatal, mad and mean
Beast of Gévaudan

Beast of Gévaudan
Christ's forces on the run
Meant to feast on the treason of liars
Beast of Gévaudan
Bringer of Nemesis undone
Sent the mass of profane to hellfire

Hunted by hundreds, attempted to be fought
And sent like thunder to tear down the enemies of God

To the Father and the Son
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
Terminator, a traitor, half wolf and half machine
To the prior and the nun
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
A redeemer, believer, all fatal, mad and mean
Beast of Gévaudan

In the night no man can run
From the Beast of Gévaudan
No escape from the fate of a martyr born in pain
When all prayers said and done
Tame the land of Gévaudan
And the curse of the beast will remain

To the Father and the Son
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
Terminator, a traitor, half wolf and half machine
To the prior and the nun
Came the Beast of Gévaudan
A redeemer, believer, all fatal, mad and mean
Beast of Gévaudan

"Beast Of Gévaudan" is the first single from Powerwolf's eighth studio album, "Call Of The Wild". The song was premiered on May 20, 2021, accompanied by a music video.
The band explained, "This song is about a French legend from the 18th century. In the south of France, in a region called Gévaudan a legendary beast killed around 100 people. It was believed to have been an extraordinary large wolf. However, the beast was hunted for years but never caught and the killings went on. Clericals believed the beast to be a vengeance of God, sent to punish the sins of mankind and referred to the book 'Deuteronomy' from The Bible, quoted 'and I will sent the teeth of wild animals'."
