Andrew Lloyd Webber - Whistle Down The Wind - Nature Of The Beast Lyrics
[Swallow]It seems to me you waited till the time cameI believe, you returned for us at lastIt seems to me you tested me so many waysI believe, every test I passedIt seems to me that every test I passed[The Man]If you go deep down inside my eye's, do you see a saviour, a prophet or even a priest?Or do you only see the blackness there, that's the nature of the beastThe one that you should fear the most, may be the ones you fear the leastIf you know me then you have to know, the nature of the beastThere are hungry devils everywhere, it's on my heart they feastLet me rise above the carcass of this all too mortal beastIf I had the chance I'd fly away, I'd see myself releasedI'd fly above the carcass of this poor, pathetic beast[Swallow]I don't know why you try to make me doubt youI don't know why when I believe my spirit soSome day soon, they'll no longer threaten youTill that day all my prayers are yoursUntil then, all my prayers are yours[The Man]The things that you despise the most maybe the ones that can stand the leastThere are lots of things you've yet to learn about the nature of the beastThere's always wars and plagues and death, the terrors have never ceasedThere's nothing you or I can do about the nature of the beast[Swallow]I'm not afraid, you taught me that[The Man]You fool why can't you see[Swallow]I'm not listening to a word you say, It was God sent you to me[The Man]What's the only sound left in this world, when every other sound has ceased?It's the breathing in and the breathing outIt's still, it's still, in meIt's still the nature of the beastThere are hungry devils everywhere, it's on my heart they feastLet me rise above the carcass of this pitiable beastIf I had the chance I'd fly away, I'd see my soul releasedI'd fly above the carcass of the nature of the beast[Swallow]There's a prayer for the lost and for the lonelyThere's a prayer to make the blind one's seeBut if you, you are not what you must beThen it's true you haven't got a prayer for meAnd I, I haven't got a prayer:... I have nothing[The Man]So many things in your life that your bound to regretWhy didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?So many chances you've lost that you'll never forgetSo many unspoken vows, so many unopened doorsSo many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scoresWhy didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true?[Swallow]No one's ever looked at me[Swallow & The Man]No one's ever looked at meThe way your looking at me now
