You can hear the thunder,
Long before the storm,
But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey.
He's moving like a shadow,

Creeping up on you,
And like a siren's call he's gonna have his way.
You'd better run, forget your pride,
Don't make a stand, just step aside.

If you don't have what it takes,
Don't try to play you'll lose your stakes,
Remember this at least.

It's the nature of the beast!
It's the nature of the beast!

You won't hear a footstep,
Comin' up on you.
Movin' like a snake he's in complete control.
This killer knows his business

He is the predator.
You are his only target, you're his only goal.
What will you say what will you do?
Your wildest nightmare's comin' true.

There is nothing you can say,
No way to change, he won't delay,
This cain will have his feast.

It's the nature of the beast!
It's the nature of the beast!

If you play you're bound to lose.
Don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws.
Just listen to the priest.

It's the nature of the beast!
It's the nature of the beast!
It's the nature of the beast!
It's the nature of the beast!
