**Like something of an animal, There's hunger, there's thirst It's within all of us But a deeper, darker thing boils in our midst It's what we fear, it's what makes us of not an animal But a spirit with pale flesh and weary eyes It's Our end that fuels the creatures, the monsters, the madness They slide on their bellies They shoot acid from their mouths They carve our heads like pumpkins They drink pure blood from the good It's their deepest, darkest thirst that must be quenched There is now only evil, and Our survival**

A Deeper, Darker Thirst
**Like something of an animal, There's hunger, there's thirst It's within all of us But a deeper, darker thing boils in our midst It's what we fear, it's what makes us of not an animal But a spirit with pale flesh and weary eyes It's Our end that fuels the creatures, the monsters, the madness They slide on their bellies They shoot acid from their mouths They carve our heads like pumpkins They drink pure blood from the good It's their deepest, darkest thirst that must be quenched There is now only evil, and Our survival**
