The ferocious growls of the beast Instills fears into the hearts of men It mutilates their integuments with its claws With dreadful eyes it observe its surrounding Stomping the beautiful flowers Outrageously Who would tame the shrewd beast? Rising stealthily with each rooster's crow With revengeful eyes and unmatched speed The sun scorched high above with regrets in its rays What a beautiful story, with a pitiful end, he thought The story of the beast lurks at the tip of his tongue Divulge, he promised not to This ain't the beast who laughed heartily last summer His heart pained, tears fell If only she hadn't left him, his lips quivered The glowing moon serenades the night Watching the beast wallow in ruth The stars shone brighter than they ever did And the wind whispers sweet melodies Strangely, the beast harkens not to their folly He neither notices the sky nor it gestures He mourned and cursed with clenched fangs at her death Annabelle, the black rose of the beast The custodian of his heart and his favorite olfaction Murdered by the poisoned arrow of the hunter A grievous mistake paid for in blood Her death, awakened the ferocious beast from its love slumber And transformed him into a dreadful creature Feared by all and wailed for-- by those who knew him before her death No one can tame the beast, only death could And death himself is fearfully amazed at his ultimate power Of destruction-- a power he wished could bring back Annabelle
