Shadowbeast - Intellectual

[Verse]

In shadows of an unrepentant night

A figure at the edge of human sight

Slips swiftly in and out of time and space

Appears and disappears without a trace

Beware the savage cry that rends the night

The seething form that swallows earthly light

The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast

For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast

Some see his hide ablaze with lightning spark

Some see his form of matte and fluid dark

But all his prey share one sight at the last

The glowing yellow eyes that hold them fast

Beware the savage cry that rends the night

The seething form that swallows earthly light

The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast

For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast

You might look up and suddenly he's there

Or wake at night to meet his silent stare

There's one, they say, whose hand can hold him tame

But none who tell the tale has known her name

Beware the savage cry that rends the night

The seething form that swallows earthly light

The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast

For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast
