Whistle Down The Wind movie - The nature of the beast lyrics
rate me<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
It seems to me you waited till the time came<br>
I believe, you returned for us at last<br>
It seems to me you tested me so many ways<br>
I believe, every test I passed<br>
It seems to me that every test I passed<br>
[The Man]<br>
If you go deep down inside my eye's, do you see a saviour, a prophet or even a priest?<br>
Or do you only see the blackness there, that's the nature of the beast<br>
The one that you should fear the most, may be the ones you fear the least<br>
If you know me then you have to know, the nature of the beast<br>
<br>
There are hungry devils everywhere, it's on my heart they feast<br>
Let me rise above the carcass of this all too mortal beast<br>
If I had the chance I'd fly away, I'd see myself released<br>
I'd fly above the carcass of this poor, pathetic beast<br>
[Swallow]<br>
I don't know why you try to make me doubt you<br>
I don't know why when I believe my spirit so<br>
Some day soon, they'll no longer threaten you<br>
Till that day all my prayers are yours<br>
Until then, all my prayers are yours<br>
[The Man]<br>
The things that you despise the most maybe the ones that can stand the least<br>
There are lots of things you've yet to learn about the nature of the beast<br>
There's always wars and plagues and death, the terrors have never ceased<br>
There's nothing you or I can do about the nature of the beast<br>
[Swallow]<br>
I'm not afraid, you taught me that<br>
[The Man]<br>
You fool why can't you see<br>
[Swallow]<br>
I'm not listening to a word you say, It was God sent you to me<br>
[The Man]<br>
What's the only sound left in this world, when every other sound has ceased?<br>
It's the breathing in and the breathing out<br>
It's still, it's still, in me<br>
It's still the nature of the beast<br>
<br>
There are hungry devils everywhere, it's on my heart they feast<br>
Let me rise above the carcass of this pitiable beast<br>
If I had the chance I'd fly away, I'd see my soul released<br>
I'd fly above the carcass of the nature of the beast<br>
[Swallow]<br>
There's a prayer for the lost and for the lonely<br>
There's a prayer to make the blind one's see<br>
But if you, you are not what you must be<br>
Then it's true you haven't got a prayer for me<br>
And I, I haven't got a prayer:.. I have nothing<br>
[The Man]<br>
So many things in your life that your bound to regret<br>
Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?<br>
So many chances you've lost that you'll never forget<br>
<br>
So many unspoken vows, so many unopened doors<br>
So many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scores<br>
Why didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true?<br>
[Swallow]<br>
No one's ever looked at me<br>
[Swallow & The Man]<br>
No one's ever looked at me<br>
The way your looking at me now<br>
<br>
<br>
The mob arrive outside the barn. The children block the entrance and the man <br>
hears them. Cornered and with no way out the man pulls out the gun and grabs<br>
swallow as his hostage. He changes his mind and pushes her out of the barn,<br>
closing the door behind her. He pours gasoline around the barn and lights a <br>
match. <br>
The barn bursts into flames with the man still inside it.<br>
The scene moves to the barn after the fire has burnt out. Amos finally <br>
catches up with Swallow. Boone tells her that the man in the barn was not <br>
Jesus. Amos tells her he did not tell anyone about the man in her barn.<br>
The sheriff tells them that the man has gone, there was not a trace of him in<br>
the barn.<br>
Poor baby & Brat sing<br>
"The thunder is rolling, the sky is black<br>
It's gotten so dark somehow<br>
He said there'll be trouble, but I know he'll be back<br>
And I hope that he's home by now<br>
He should have been home by now"<br>
Brat asks Swallow "he's free now, isn't he?"<br>
Swallow replies "He'll be back, I just know he will"<br>
Brat tells how he preyed for a Christmas bonfire and got the biggest one of <br>
all. <br>
Swallow, Boone, Brat and Poor Baby stand in the remains of the burnt out barn<br>
and sing Whistle down the wind...<br>
<br>
