The beast awakens

The earth is shaken

Deep it dwells

More than a challenge is it to quell

Dark is his heart, like an endless well

Born out of hate

Dead and alive few can relate

Many years spent in this blackened state

As he rises from the depths

He wonders where to place his next step

A whole new place, a brand new face

His new life awaits

As a butterfly removes it's cocoon

It realizes its has wings, what is it to do?

Only option is to flap and fly

Reveal its true beauty and remove it's disguise

A 2nd, 2nd chance

The 3rd phase in this timeless dance

What happens next? Where does he go from here?

Which direction to go? Which way to steer?

Only thing he knows is anywhere is better than where he's been

left in the ocean with nowhere to swim

Running down an endless hallway as the lights grew dim

Time to bury the past and uncover the future

Forget all it was to be that creature

Leave all of the hate and the snarl

Remember what it was to just be Carl
