In the shadows
where the moonlight fades
Lies a creature
misunderstood and jaded
With a heart that beats beneath the skin so pale
that beast but not the kind you hail
In the whispers of the haunted night
He walks alone
his soul takes flight
With eyes that glow like embers bright
A real monster
fighting the fight
Underneath the surface
where the waters part
Lies the essence of a gentle heart
For every scar a tale to tell
Of a real monster
who fell from grace not hell
Oh he's a real monster
with love to give
Not the terror you've come to live
In the quiet
his kindness shows
A real monster
with a soul that glows
So when you see him in the twilight's gleam
Remember the monster you've come to deem
He's real but not as you've been taught
A real monster
with a story sought
