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
