H8_Seed - Manticore lyrics

The clouds rolling overhead block
Out all the light
The twisting trees and branches
Are an ominous sight
You know that something's watching
Hear a howl in the night
And beneath your calm exterior
You tremble with fright

Your legs begin to shake
And your tail starts to sway
You feel it's hunger for you as
You try to hide your dismay
You think you might be able to
Keep the beast at bay
But heed your better judgment you
Know it's unwise to stay
So you better run away

A mighty bellow signals that
The hunt has commenced you start to hoof it
Bending to your own common sense
You know no one's around to
Help you mount a defense and as you run
The air you're breathing starts to get dense

You try not to stumble, legs quiver with fear
And all it's vicious snarling is like
A gun in your ear
Adrenaline numbs your body as
It kicks into gear
You see your peaceful village and
You finally think you're clear
But your doom draws ever near

Run from the Manticore it senses your fear
So there's nowhere to hide, now

It's a creature like no other before:
A feral killing machine
So you should stay inside, now

Cower before the Manticore
Under cover of night
It'll beat you til you're black and blue

A terrifying carnivore
You better watch your back because
It's gonna make a filly out of you

You loose a cry for help
As you duck into town
You feel the massive tremors when
It's paws hit the ground
Your fellow ponies wake from
The cacophonous sound
But no one tries to save
You from the monster inbound

You collapse
Exhausted from your perilous hike
The realization hit's you that your
Head's on a pike
You bow before the manticore with
Tears in your eyes
You close your eyes in horror as you
Wait for it's blow to strike
It's gonna end your life tonight

Run from the Manticore it senses your fear
So there's nowhere to hide, now

It's a creature like no other before:
A feral killing machine
So you should stay inside, now

Cower before the Manticore
Under cover of night
It'll beat you til you're black and blue

A terrifying carnivore
You better watch your back because
It's gonna make a filly out of you

You better watch your back because
It's gonna make a filly out of you
