Beware the Beast

In the heart of the forest deep, where shadows breathe and lie

I stir within the darkness, under the moonlit sky

Eyes like burning embers, claws that slice the night

A creature born of nightmares, eclipsing all the light

Few have crossed my path and lived to tell the tale

Their whispers caught by terror, their faces ghostly pale

I watch from under ancient trees, where silence reigns supreme

Their offerings a tribute, to quell my savage dream

Beware the night, beware the beast

Fear the darkness, fear the feast
