Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're not safe until he's dead
He'll come stalking us at night
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
He’ll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free
So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me
[Verse 2]
Through the mist, through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer, then we're there
At the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside
It’s a beast!
He's got fangs
Razor sharp ones
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar! See him foam!
But we’re not coming home ’til he’s dead
Yeah!
Good and dead!
Yeah!
Kill the Beast!
[Verse 3]
Light your torch
Mount your horse
Screw your courage to the sticking place
We’re counting on Gaston to lead the way
Call it war, call it threat
You can bet they all will follow
For in times like this they'll do just as I say
[Verse 4]
There’s a beast running wild, there’s no question
But I fear the wrong monster's released
[Verse 5]
Sally forth! Tally ho!
Grab your sword! Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go!
[Verse 6]
We don't like
What we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns!
Bring your knives!
Save your children and your wives
We'll save our village and our lives
We’ll kill the Beast!
[Verse 7]
Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although the danger's just increased
[Verse 8]
Raise the flag!
Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong
Let's kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
