MANTICORE by H8_Seed

The clouds rolling overhead block out all the light

The twisting trees and branches are an ominous sight

You know that something’s watching, hear a howl in the night

And beneath your calm exterior you tremble with fright

Your legs begin to shake, and your tail starts to sway

You feel its hunger for you as you try to hide your dismay

You think you might be able to keep the beast at bay

But heed your better judgment; you know it’s unwise to stay,

SO YOU BETTER RUN AWAY

A mighty bellow signals that the hunt has commenced

You start to hoof it, bending to your own common sense

You know no one’s around to help you mount a defense

And as you run, the air you’re breathing starts to get dense

You try not to stumble, legs aquiver with fear

And all its vicious snarling is like a gun in your ear

Adrenaline numbs your body as it kicks into gear

You see your peaceful village and you finally think you’re clear

BUT YOUR DOOM DRAWS EVER NEAR

Run from the Manticore

It senses your fear

So there’s nowhere to hide, now

It’s a creature like no other before:

A feral killing machine

So you should stay inside, now

Cower before the Manticore

Under cover of night

It’ll beat you til you’re black and blue

A terrifying carnivore;

You better watch your back because

It’s gonna make a filly out of you

You loose a cry for help as you duck into town

You feel the massive tremors when its paws hit the ground

Your fellow ponies wake from the cacophonous sound

But no one tries to save you from the monster inbound

You collapse, exhausted from your perilous hike

The realization hits you that your head’s on a pike

You bow before the manticore with tears in your eyes

You close your eyes in horror as you wait for its blow to strike

IT’S GONNA END YOUR LIFE TONIGHT
