Nature of the Beast

When it mattered the most
It counted the least
I followed the smoke
I kissed and It choked
I starve as I feast
Smoke follows beauty
As if it’s it’s duty
It curls and swells above wishing wells and feigns sweet release
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast

There’s a face in the fire
And it knows you’re a liar
A bright golden hue
As warm as it’s true
And it burns just for you
I took the shortcut
That led through the graveyard
It was the ghosts
That I needed most
Now they won’t let me be
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast

You can smell the woods burning
From miles away
Downwind as it’s turning
from the dead of the night to the heart of the day
As it lifted the veil
To reveal the deceased
It’s the crimes we forget
long past debt
While the sentence increased
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast
