The Taming of a Beast Songtext
von Pain of Salvation

Some nights, I just feel this need to run
Some nights, I just want to burn to death just like the sun
Some nights, I just long to lose control
Some nights, I just wish for destiny to touch my soul

It′s the feeling that it's all too safe and sound
And I need something to shake me up and strike me to the ground
The storm become
And root me up and let me run
Just burn my wings and touch the sun
So let me fly, just let me fall
Just let it come


I want to taste it all!
I wanna falter and fall!
I wanna run from civility
The blacks of morality
Just go with the wild in me
Regardless of nation, creed or fallacy
Just pulling you close to me
The spill of shed
Skin of humanity

Sometimes I feel the beast has the best of me

It′s not that I don't want what I have
It's not that I ever want to make anybody sad
It′s not that I want to hurt myself
But some things are better broken than left on the shelf

It′s the hunger and the restlessness that calls
Oh, sweet vertical, a lust enticing me to take the fall
So lock me up, so chain me down and build a wall
Destroy the wolf and break his crown
The smile has claws, the bull has teeth
'Cause when I′m free

I'm gonna taste you all!
I′m gonna falter and fall!
I want to give up my dignity! give into inequity!
Sleep with my enemy! explode like a sun and become your gravity!
Just pulling you into me
It takes everything to refill me!


Sometimes I feel the beast gets the best of me, oh
The beast gets the best of me
And you'll drink your rum, it′s not to touch the sun

It is not for everyone to touch the sun
You must let the wild, just let the wild ones run

Just stay safely on the ground
I'll give you more, I'll give you more
Just let me roam and lock the door
Release the beast, just set me free
Cover your eyes!
