[Verse 1] I’m the howler of the Western plains, A storm of wrath in blood-soaked reins. Gaze upon me, meet your doom, I’ll put you six feet in a nameless tomb. [Pre-Chorus] Chain-lightning walks where I tread, Swear it’s true or join the dead! The prairie shakes when I roar, Ain’t no man can stand no more. [Chorus] I’m the slayer, fueled by hate, The great destroyer—seal your fate! Nightmare ridin’ on the endless plain, Pray to God, but pray in vain. [Verse 2] I’m the demon of the midnight trail, Blood on my hands and rust on my spurs. No wrecker’s touched more steel on the rails, I leave the trains as funeral pyres. [Pre-Chorus] Black smoke curls where I ride, No survivors left to hide. Steel and fire, scream and scorn, The Beast is born to leave ‘em torn. [Chorus] He’s the reaper, never tamed, Left the railroad wrecked and maimed. Terror derails the sleepin’ car, Hell’s own outlaw—gaze too far. [Bridge] "You hear that whistle in the dead of night? That ain’t no train, boy—that’s the Beast takin’ flight. Two-mouthed demon, jaws flash bright, You’ll meet the devil ‘fore you see first light." [Verse 3] Eastern hyena, teeth like knives, Fire in my veins—I take men’s lives. Strip a man ‘fore he knows his fate, Leave his bones at the pearly gate. [Outro] He’s the blackest villain ever bred, Scalp you quick, leave you dead. The Beast rides on through the howlin’ dark… And the rails still scream where he left his mark.
