The Creature

The sound of your own muffled breath
Over muffled voices
As you pursue your ancient prey
This injured yet insatiable beast
This destroyer of worlds
It's only purpose, to swallow you up
Raging over you, this colourful tyrant
Under It's assassins cloak
Behind its veil of secret death
Waiting for your mistake
Your gift to the enemy's of your ancestors 
And when it comes
When air and uncooled gases collide 
Your reward like no other gift from the Gods
Unequalled in ferocity & hateful energy
Coming to you straight from the pits of Hell
To visit with you
To wrap itself around you
To take all that you are, in that one moment
Leaving your ashes to the wind
But not today
Today you will beat the Beast
You will push back with the strength of Hercules
You will bring your flood to its door
You will smash through those Doors of steel 
And walls of brick
Chasing away its last poisonous breath 
Releasing our Brothers & Sisters from its sinister grip
To once again watch the sunrise
And look upon our children 
As they quietly sleep, in blissful ignorance of our deadly dance
But never weaken, and always be aware
Because the Creature is patient
The Creature is relentless
And the Creature never forgives
And worse of all
the Creature is in us
