A carnivorous beast lies pitted deep inside. It devours its prey, gorging till it subsides. Living in the heart of man, this beast doth reside. It stalks upon carnal thoughts yet to betide. A reincarnate knight seeks a kingdom of glory. To vanquish the beast: his reoccurring story. Oft' has the beast left the field torn and gory. Yet, the knight strives for resplendent victory. Fanfare pierces the soul; the champion sheathes his sword. Returning to his dais, the knight returns as lord.

Lord of the Soul
A carnivorous beast lies pitted deep inside. It devours its prey, gorging till it subsides. Living in the heart of man, this beast doth reside. It stalks upon carnal thoughts yet to betide. A reincarnate knight seeks a kingdom of glory. To vanquish the beast: his reoccurring story. Oft' has the beast left the field torn and gory. Yet, the knight strives for resplendent victory. Fanfare pierces the soul; the champion sheathes his sword. Returning to his dais, the knight returns as lord.
The internal battle is waged daily, and some beasts are larger than others.
