I Â originaly wrote this in 1984. Â I hope this doesn't stink too bad. ':blush:'

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The Beast

Chorus: Â Â Hiding from light of day
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The beast hunts by night
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Taking what it needs to live
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â On it's never ending flight

Sleeping in an alley....Waiting for the night.
Man's worse nightmare..in need of a fight.

It's features hard and cruel..it's manner about the same.
Drawing the life from it's prey...like an evil game.

Evil and destructive..it consumes it's victims soul.
So you better be careful..don't you heed it's siren's call.

Chorus: Â Â Â Hiding from the light of day
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The beast hunts by night
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Taking what it needs to live
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â On it's never ending flight

Once I was happy..but I headed for my fall
Although I was warned..I answered the beast's call

Taking all I could take ..wanting even more
Ruining all the lives I could..not knowing why or what for

So if you hear a voice offering all you'll ever need
Turn around and run from the beast known as greed

Whew now hopfully this doesn't reak too bad

':blush:'

right from the start i started singing it to my self in the style of the band rush, for the lyrics seem like the rush type. then, of course, i noticed your nickname

I'm moving this topic seeing as it'd be more suitable in this forum rather than in the test lab...

Thanks Ben I wasn't sure if I should leave this in the test lab or not.(Didn't want to leave a ticking timebomb lying around. ':blush:'

I tend to be a little too critical of my work.

It's good... what kind of tempo/style did you have in mind for this one? I am trying to get a rhythmic sound of it in my head.

I was thinking of laid back industrial, IE 70-90 beats per minute. speed metal just sounds to "cliche' " plus at that speed a nervous tension can be made if you know what I mean.
