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 [bad word]  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

You won't hear a [bad word] up on you
Moving like a snake, he's [bad word] 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 [bad word] [bad word] 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

If you play you're bound to lose
Don't roll the dice, don't turn the [bad word] Just listen to the priest
It's the nature of the beast
