The Beast Calls

The Beast by Rhythm X Revival

The Beast Calls

The Beast Calls

The beast calls at midnight
When the moon is full and high
And I hear his mournful wailing
Like his soul's about to die.

I can hear him in my dreams
When I'm lying fast asleep
I can hear him running toward me
Up the mountain tall and steep.

I can hear his ragged breathing
Hear his panting in my ear
Hear him beg me to go with him
Though I pretend not to hear.

I can see his eyes upon me
Devouring me with lustful mouth
I can feel his teeth cut through my skin
Though the door has kept him out.

But he stands outside my window
Sending secrets to my brain
Telling me how much he loves me
And wants to be with me again.

But I cannot let him near me
I know I can't let him inside
For the man that once he had been
Is a wolf, the man has died.

But he begs me oh, so pitifully
That it breaks my loving heart
For I loved him, how I loved him
When our romance had it's start.

But the wolf girls took my lover
Took him in the full moon's glow
Kept him till he gave compliance
And they would not let him go.

So they hit him and they bit him
Changed his nature from a man
And they made him into something
That I cannot understand.

But he will not leave me here alone
He will not give me up
He tells me we'll be lovers once more
If I'll just drink of his cup.

And I tell him no time after time
I won't give in to his plea
But I do not know this very night
He has planned to deceive me.

A woman comes then to my door
Knocking softly like a friend
Smiling sweetly she asks if I 
Might be so kind to let her in.

And not thinking this could be a trick
I open up my door to her
And she pulls me out into the night
Into arms so soft like fur.

And they take me to their lair in chains
The wolfen girls that he has sent
Hold me prisoner till he comes for me
Behind iron bars that can't be bent.

I'm so frightened I can barely breathe
I can hardly stand to see
Then I feel his breath upon my face
As he puts his claws on me.

Please don't take my life away from me
My form, my face, and all I know
I beg softly to the man he was
But he shakes his great head, no.

Then I feel his sharp teeth ravage me
And I scream with all my might
I hear him say he's sorry in my mind
For the thing he does tonight.

Then he licks the blood off of my skin
Cradles me within his arms
And I drift away to deep darkness
Sheltered then from further harms.

In the morning I am still myself
As the me I know to be
 I look at my hands and feel my face
Fearing what I might soon see.

The change is slow and deadly certain
And I  can feel the savage blood
Flowing violently through my veins 
Like my sisters said it would.

And they took me from my prison
Then removed the chains from me
Gave me clothes to hide my nakedness
And they let me just go free.

I hid myself from all of nature
Hid myself from lion and loon
I hid from every living creature
But there was no hiding from the moon.

And the midnight came and took me
To the meadow bright as day
And the full moon did it's magic and
Took my human-ness away.

I became a thing I did not know
And I did not want to be
Screaming out my pain to Heaven
Then I saw him watching me.

Coming to me in the moonlight,
I saw the man turn into beast
And he howled out an invitation
To attend his ghastly hallowed feast.

And he took my hand and ran with me
Through the forests dark and green
And I saw with sight I'd never had
Things that I had never seen.

As we ran, my inhibitions fled
And I embraced what I'd become
My body changed, mind rearranged
And the forest  began to feel like home.

I could feel the joy within him
I could see love in his eyes
Finding our love had never died
Was to me a great surprise.

I never realized that creatures
Not humankind, could still feel love
Even wolves, slaves to the bidding
Of the full moon up above.

And as time passed, I so adjusted
To the life that I now led
Hiding in my human costume
With pure wolf thoughts in my head.

Longing for the lunar phases
To do their cycles and begin
To see the moon in all her fullness
And to run free once again.

Past and Present

Past and Present

The music of the past poured out

Into the heart break of the present

The long-ago of the far-away

Into the here and now.

He heard her voice so soft and low

Like a tender angel singing

Filling holes within his heart

And never knowing how.

How could that piece of wax so old

Contain such a healing touch?

He didn't know the singer's name

But he loved her very much.

Delusion Conceding

Delusion Conceding



Flashing spanish eyes
Stare me down
Into embers of fire
And I melt into dew
At the sound of your voice
My once and ever love
Lost in the memories
Of drowning men
And I, the survivor of your hurricane.

We meet upon the shore
Of renewed acquaintance
Filled with longing
And passion akin to terror
You and I, the victor and the victim
You, the sword and I, the blood upon the blade.

You do not know
The nights that passed before
As torment grasped me by the heart
And shook me till I wept
Crying like a man who's lost his soul
Dying like a man who hates his life.

As all the while
Your treacherous eyes
Looked elsewhere for their treasure
But not at me, for you had stripped me bare,
Left this barely beating heart
Held captive in your chains.

Till now, you come
And now I fall before you
But only in my heart, my pride is much too hurt
I stand as still as stone
As your beguiling face approaches
Calling me to days long gone
And willing me to smile.

Confusion clouds your midnight eyes
When you see I do not falter
Nor do I run to catch you up
Or taste the lips that lie
I only stand, though in my heart I grovel like a beggar
Holding out a begging bowl
With my eyes downcast in shame.

You look at me
As though you're looking at a stranger
And it is true you've never seen
This man whose back is strong
With eyes so full of anger that you'll never comprehend
I watch delusion encompass you
As I turn my back to you.


I hear you now behind me, following like a whisper
Cajoling me as my heart pulls free
And the chains all fall away
And now you scream and now I hear you softly whimper
As lost, you try to find the words
To make me turn again.

You do not know my knees are weak
But still we keep on walking
My eyes are filled with a coward's tears
But I will not let them flow
And proud, un- bloodied, I swiftly walk
Away from you, not knowing
If freedom is worth the price to pay
To a heart that loves you so.

Be Real To Me

BE REAL TO ME

                                   

MY LORD, MY PRAYER, MY ONLY PRAYER

IS NOT FOR THINGS TO SEE

OR HEAR OR WEAR OR EAT OR CARE:

BUT THAT YOU WOULD BE REAL TO ME.

MY LORD, I BEG OF YOU NO MIRACLE FANTASTIC

NO MOVING OF MOUNTAIN OR WALKING OF SEA

I BEG FOR NO SPECIAL EFFECTS KIND OF GLORY

BUT THAT DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU'D BE REAL TO ME.

SOME PEOPLE ASK FOR FAME AND FORTUNE

SOME PEOPLE ASK FOR ALL THEIR EYES SEE

SOME PEOPLE ASK FOR THINGS THEY DON'T NEED

BUT LORD, I NEED YOU TO BE REAL TO ME.

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST ON THE EDGE

JUST BEYOND THE VEIL, A WHISPER AWAY

FROM TOUCHING YOUR HAND AND SEEING YOUR FACE

AND FINDING THE DOOR TO THE PLACE THAT YOU STAY.

I KNOW YOU ARE THERE, SOMEWHERE YOU ARE THERE

IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, UNFETTERED BY TIME

I FEEL YOUR EYES ON ME, I FEEL YOUR HEART LOVE ME

AND I WANT SO TO SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU WITH MINE.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY OFFERED ME THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

WITH ALL OF IT'S TREASURES FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEA

I'D TURN THEM ALL DOWN FOR A MOMENT IN GLORY

IF YOU WOULD JUST TOUCH ME AND BE REAL TO ME.

NOT A MAN IN A STORY, A NAME IN A PRAYER

A LEGEND, A SONG, A CRUCIFIX SCENE

BUT A REAL LIVING SAVIOR, A FLESH AND BONE BEING

THAT'S MORE REAL AND MORE TRUE THAN MEN I HAVE SEEN.

OH, LORD, MY PRAYER, MY ONLY PRAYER

FOR IN MY HEART YOU SEE

THE VOID THAT ONLY YOU CAN FILL

WHEN YOU BECOME REAL TO ME.
