[Verse 1]
Claws in the carpet, creeping through the dark pit,
Teeth in the shadows, whispers where the heart sits.
Grindstone jawline, chewing on the silence,
Hunger in my veins, pulse heavy like sirens.
Windows shatter, moon grins like a crescent,
Preacher in my mind, but the devil's my present.
Feet stomp heavy, every step a confession,
Came to eat the weak, I'm the famine's profession.
[Chorus]
Beast in the temple, soul in the rumble,
Voices in the sky make the heavens crumble.
Beast, beast, tearing through the feast,
Prayers in the echo, but the growl won't cease.
[Verse 2]
Sanctuary smoke, stained glass sweat drips,
Tongue spit venom, got the serpents doing backflips.
Sermons in my breath, hymns in my holler,
Spirit on a leash, but it snaps for the dollar.
Eyelids flicker, see the cosmos quiver,
Worlds collide inside my chest, I'm the giver.
Pavement cracks under steps, rhythm of the thunder,
Beast in the chapel, dragging faith through the plunder.
[Prechorus]
Choir sings sweet, but the bassline growls,
Angels on the run, shadows prowl.
