Beast Lyrics - Aldous Harding

Who took the bone to the beast? 

Who led it back to grace and gave it fire for its feast? 

Who took the bone to the beast? 

Now it lies breathing peacefully while hope lies underneath 

Why breed a boy for his meat 

To teach the child cruel rituals or ruin to repeat? 

Why leave a heart in the heat 

Till the marble bath that held the truth lies broken at your feet? 

Bring me a man who is sweet 

A quiet son of whom intends to never taste defeat 

For I've seen a soul drag its feet 

And come to rest inside a life with nothing left to eat
