6. IISOEO (The Day Of The Beast) On the day of the beast the sun rose in the east With a glow that just seemed wrong He frowned at the sky and his heart said goodbye To a home where he'd no more belong The wind from the west had his weakness assessed Lightning, thunder and rain The bracing of foot was a hope burned to soot The wind and the rain brought his bane With valiant fight he rose to his might In an effort to turn back the horde Then in dismay it all washed away Betrayal he'd feel evermore Beaten and down he looked all around The beast now blocked out the sun His wounds open bled – spirit near dead He realized the end had begun In this year of the beast the sun dark in the east With warmth that's remembered by none He sits there alone with a heart turned to stone As dreams fall away, one by one The beginning has ended with force full intended And trust that has withered away The ending is here and now hope disappears The beast has proclaimed disarray and pain
