i am the beast that swallowed the sun
i am who conquers all kingdoms to come  
i am the claw that sliced open the moon
i am the end that has started too soon.

i am the glutton who broke open the earth
drank dry the core that’s been there since its birth
i am the dawn of all lives gone unlived
eating all marrow the world has to give

i am the poison that runs in your veins
i am the anger that gnaws at your brain
i am the dusk that darkens the day
i am the night that steals light away

i am the beast that tore at the sun
i am the daughter, the prodigal son
i am the eyes that close, unaware
that i am the one who has always been there.

i am the demon that’s under the bed
i am the sickness inside of your head
i am the thief that steals away sleep
i collect laughs, they are mine to keep

i am the ghost that haunts the dead
only alive in the tears that they shed
i am sickness, i am decay
i am the cloud that weeps life away.

i am the beast that choked down the sun
i am the anger that burns in your lungs
i am inside you, the hatred you breathe
i am the ugly, the lies that you weave.

i am with you and you are with me
i am all that you cannot be
i am sickness, ill and despair
you and me, we make quite the pair.
