The Beast of Gévaudan Songtext
von American Arson

I′ve got a monster in my mind, he's pulling on each thread of weakness he can find.
And I′ve seen him tearing through the countryside, my deepest fears personified, demanding the attention of all of the king's men.
Take my hand and lead me past the wolves that seek a refuge in my head.
I can't stand to live my life afraid of what I am, building walls around my walls around my walls.
I smell the sulfur in his lungs, he′s got deception on his tongue (wait ′til I find my silver bullet, wait 'til I find my silver bullet).
Detailing all of my defeats, claiming that I am incomplete (wait ′til I find my silver bullet, wait 'til I find my silver bullet).
Take my hand and lead me past the wolves that seek a refuge in my head.
I can′t stand to live my life afraid of what I am, building walls around my walls around my walls. I've wasted so many nights chasing a ghost that won′t be found.
With every breath I have left, I'm laying all my failures down.
Can you hear me now?
This is the end!
I'm laying all my failures down with every doubt.
No turning back!
I′m laying all my failures down.
