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 better run, 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 CHORUS: It's the nature of the beast It's the nature of the beast You won't hear a footstep comin' up on you Movin' like a snake he's in complete 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 nightmare's comin' true There is nothing you can say, no way to change, he won't delay This cain will have his feast REPEAT CHORUS Solo - Eddie If you play you're bound to lose, don't roll the dice, don't turn the screw Just listen to the priest REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
