Set me loose like the dogs of war Unleash the beast I can't control anymore I've fought my demons but my strength begins to fail I can feel the cracks forming in the boat that I sail There are creatures at the gate I fight alone night and day There are creatures at the gate Will they ever go away? There are claws at the window There are teeth at the door There's a shriek from the basement I can't fight them anymore But still you're none the wiser To the monster in the man So feed me your tranquilizer And catch me if you can Not a humble beast No my name is pride I'm hungry for a feast And I've got you in my sights

Creatures at the Gate
Set me loose like the dogs of war Unleash the beast I can't control anymore I've fought my demons but my strength begins to fail I can feel the cracks forming in the boat that I sail There are creatures at the gate I fight alone night and day There are creatures at the gate Will they ever go away? There are claws at the window There are teeth at the door There's a shriek from the basement I can't fight them anymore But still you're none the wiser To the monster in the man So feed me your tranquilizer And catch me if you can Not a humble beast No my name is pride I'm hungry for a feast And I've got you in my sights
