beast // creature lyrics

[Verse 1]
He came to me a beast, a mythical monstrosity I saw
Standing eminently aft, Adonis built of fur and claw
I’d say on that day, the sun itself begot him as a wolf

In a field of golden grain, body glistening in white
Inconceivable, his size, nor the brightness of his eyes
But O! From the mountains I could see
And new feelings came to me

[Verse 2]
I came to him a creature, a beaten brownish rodent at his feet
I gave a kiss, grotesquely splayed before his blinding effigy
I writhed, in waiting in the dirt, I waited for his word

I felt so weak, so disgusting as I wеpt upon his knees
I could sense the old contеmpt I had assumed this wolf would feel
But O, There! Came his paws, the wolf took hold and carried me away

[Bridge]
The bread breaks, across my back so gently, between the cracks
I kneel with a saucerful of milk between my legs
I was starving, all my life for something I hadn’t ever known
Before I tasted what you served upon your fur

[Verse 3]
You came to me a beast, I came to you a creature
I asked you what it means, you promised me a leader
I don’t understand it either, I don’t understand it either
But when you called me yours, it felt real
Oh, it felt real
Oh, it felt real
Oh, it felt real
