The beast inside does grin,
I keep him from outside.
And though it burns of sin,
It's my own folly that I hide.

Stay far from the edge my friend,
You know not what's behind.
Step further and my soul you rend,
Do not peel back this rind.

The skin lay in front exposed,
It's all in front of you.
I keep what I have proposed,
You did what I said not to do.

Stay far from this unholy plight,
I call you away from so dark a light.
