Shadow of the beast

Lurking, breathing, watching, hunting

His home is the shadow world

A taste for flesh of man

A cunning being with a plan

He will command your final hour

From his hunger, demon power

Sinner or saint, it's all the same

The taste of your flesh is what you can blame

This beast has no conscience, only pure will

The only religion, the taste of the kill

Executioner, punisher

Wolf or demon, or message from God

The eyes of the beast are greedy indeed

Don't try to explain what you can not

Executioner, punisher

Wolf or demon, or message from God

The eyes of the beast are greedy indeed

Don't try to explain what you can not

Many beasts suffered an I'll fate

Another mindless savage hunt

Pure revenge by the hand of man

To find the beast of Gйvaudan

Eye for an eye, lie after lie

Hunters seeking recognition

You can not catch a shadow

You can not slay what you can not find

The land holds a secret born of the soil

Revealed only in the dark of the mind

Executioner, punisher

Wolf or demon, or message from God

The eyes of the beast are greedy indeed

Don't try to explain what you can not

Executioner, punisher

Wolf or demon, or message from God

The eyes of the beast are greedy indeed

Don't try to explain what you can not

Three years of terror

Finished as they started

An elusive guest has come and gone

Awakened fear in everyone

A story told for centuries
