Leslie Fish Berserker
Oh do not seek to know what lies
Behind these mild and patient eyes
For I have seen the demons power
And even let the monster run
In certain unforgotten hours
The fire that sleeps within the blood
Can waken to a burning flood
That sweeps away whatever moves
Before the wordless killers eyes
Oh do not cry to see it proved
So leave the devil where it lies
Cast no blood into my eyes
And never place my life in threat
For when the monster comes alive
If you survive, you won't forget
The roar when language falls away
The vision leached to black and grey
The speed that makes the wind feel slow
The strength beyond the bones designs
These are the signs I too well know
I wear my weapons openly
Tolerant kind though I must be
I keep the fenerous wolf in reins
But this much warning I must give
That while I live the beast remains
