Lyrics
We found a brand new creature
That's been around for years
But we've only started looking
Didn't think we'd find it here
Step into the jungle
And cut a path straight thru
We're headed for a struggle
And a fate that no one knew
Hold on tightly we'll be there soon
Show's up nightly rabbit in the moon
There's no telling what the beast will do
If it wakes up and locks eyes with you
It took under an hour
For us to tame the beast
Surprised by all it's power
And the broken men it eats
Waiting by the river
For you to take a drink
Lunging from the water
No time for you to think
Hold on tightly we'll be there soon
Show's up nightly rabbit in the moon
There's no telling what the beast will do
If it wakes up and locks eyes with you
Despite the danger I must conquer my fear
Getting a sense that destruction is near (it is)
The monster lives but the facts are unclear
We'll go to him so he doesn't come here (he will)
Pitch forks and torches it's an ugly scene
No mercy for him we'll destroy the beast (we will)
Amidst the carnage it is easy to see
The beast is gone but the monster is me (oh well)
