Hellish beast hunts the night br Stealing loved ones from my sight br In the darkness all is lost br Was my freedom worth the cost? br br Locked in a prison of fear, br Taunting words only I can hear br He’s scratching at the walls, br “Let me in, ” his mocking voice calls br br Bound by fear, blinded by hate, br I deny this is my fate br Wishing it would go away br Yet not knowing what to say br br In the coming morn, there will be no trace br Of what went on in this horrid place br No scattered clothes, few drops of blood br My tears flow as a flood br br No one hears my heart’s wail br It’s just another chapter of my tale br I live this nightmare everyday br No one listens to what I say br br I’ve learned the beast is a must br It shows me who to trust br He keeps me on tip-toe br Hope is my greatest foebr br Angela Davisbr br
