"To Lock Eyes With A Wild Beast" lyrics

"To Lock Eyes With A Wild Beast"

For those who think they are brave
Because they've never been afraid
Who judge those enduring consequences
When they have always been saved

To all those ignorant fucks
Who've always suckled from the teat
I hope one day you'll meet your fate
Locking eyes with a wild beast

For those who think they have all the answers
Though they've never been tested
Who are defiant to the rules of the world
Though they've never had to face it themselves

To all those ignorant fucks
Who've always suckled from the teat
I hope one day you'll meet your fate
Locking eyes with a wild beast

Not to be taken by your fellow man
Not to be taken by your own hand
Not having succumbed to disease
But having faced the wild beast
For after only one glance of the beast
In the blink of an eye
The young dawn that was once your life
Has suddenly turned into midnight

As if it fell from the sky
Your jaw drops in awe
Piss yourself in fear
No clever language will save you here
As you slowly quicken the pace
As you try to slip away
Just as you think you will be okay
You realize you've become the chase
Run

Let her take you down
Let her take you in her mouth
The moonlight reflecting in her eyes
The moonlight is shining off her cold, sharp claws

Let her tear you limb from limb
Let nature take its course
Let her kill and devour
Kill and devour and kill some more

Memories are flashing before your eyes
Of old friends and dead relatives
With hallucinations induced
From being eaten alive

Where no one could hear you scream
Where no one could see you cry
Unlikely fate in present day
Man and beast, face to face

You went looking for thrills and adventure
They came looking for you as well
You wanted nature
Nature wanted you as well
At the scene of the mauling
Black cloth and blood in the snow
Surrounded by a crowd of trees, you will be
But cold bones in the spring
