with no voice but savagery
silence be damned
i’ll eat out the throats
of the whole flock of lambs

i don’t fear
i don’t fear

behold catastrophic,
unreasoning thirst
the void will destroy me
but i won’t be first

i don’t fear
i don’t fear

i am no predator
i am no prey
i am the Beast
who eats everything

i don’t fear
i don’t fear

i would have slept
for a thousand more years
but you called out my name
and i have appeared

i don’t fear
i don’t fear
