Shadowbeast by Escape Key

I don't own this beautiful song.

Lyrics:

In shadows of an unrepentant night,
A figure at the edge of human sight,
Slips swiftly in and out of time and space,
Appears and disappears without a trace.

Beware the savage cry that rends the night,
The seething form that swallows earthly light,
The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast,
For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast

Some see his hide ablaze with lightning spark.
Some see his form of matte and fluid dark.
But all his prey share one sight at the last,
The glowing yellow eyes that hold them fast

Beware the savage cry that rends the night,
The seething form that swallows earthly light,
The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast,
For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast

You might look up and suddenly he's there,
Or wake at night to meet his silent stare.
There's one, they say, whose hand can hold him tame,
But none who tell the tale has known her name.

Beware the savage cry that rends the night,
The seething form that swallows earthly light,
The gleaming claws that carve the nightly feast,
For nothing sates the endless hunger of the Shadowbeast

I think that this has got to be my favourite song that someone has ever written about their cat.

I really want to write a story about this song... it's just so descriptive and mysterious.
