Predator

Predator

A Poem by mhylands
"

Intended to become lyrics. The instinctual and animalistic tendencies of humanity.

"

On the hunt for flesh

I am the animal that strikes you down

In need of new blood

I will slit your throat to wear the crown

 

Predator, as I am

Ravenous and insane

Stalking the kill

If not for the thrill

 

Predator, as I am

Ruthless and crazed

Feasting on what's bled

Surviving off the dead

 

Alone I am merciless

Focused on this one task

I am the cannibal my friend

I cannot discern my own kin

 

Seek not the sanity within me

I disseminate the truth afar

This thirst that cannot be quenched

Shall spew forth scarlet seas

 

Understand these bittersweet luxuries come with a crimson price

I am simply here to collect to be more precise

 

As my eyes turn bloodshot

There is only one cure

To overturn this vile plot

And I will endure as

To live is to die

It's the cycle of all life

So you must die

In order for this to suffice

 

I am not a monster

But I am certainly beast

Until the end is seen

The bloodshed shall not cease

 

Speak no ill of the pawns you play

For rumors often forsake the kings I will slay

The fundamental ideals are now history

I stand before you, this ends here today
