Lyrics
Mother is God in the eyes of a child
Nature and Nurture will butcher the wild
Listen to whispers floating on the wind
The beast walks among us, the beast lurks within.
Keys to the kingdom and the heavenly host
The garden is tainted and no man should boast
Eat of the apple drink of the cup
The children shall weep when the beast wakes up.
His inner child cries
Id vs Ego, Id vs Ego,
Jesus do we know?
Where did the Beast go?
He listens and he curses....right beneath the surface.
They pointed and laughed at the boy with mask
Bottling up all the pain of his past
His flicker of anger will soon start to bloom
His beast will consume everyone in the room
Mortimer is quiet thinking even now
About how everyone will beg, how?s it gonna sound?
Mommy locked him up again, she wouldn?t let him eat.
She said the pills had made her do it. Morty blamed the beast.
Id vs Ego, Id vs Ego,
Jesus do we know?
Where did the Beast go?
He listens and he curses....right beneath the surface.
The Beast has awakened
Nothing can contain him
Inner child cries everybody dies
When you are the despised
