Nature Of The Beast [Tommy Shaw]

Nature Of The Beast
Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

Feel the chill that's in the air
My eyes are dry
And the night could hardly care
Wind whistle why

And as the storm moves toward the east
I call your name
It's the nature of the beast
To be drawn to the flame

You take your life for granted
But that won't get you far
You'll never take out
More than you put in
Or you think yourself enchanted
That you'll never lose
Do you notice if you win

If you ever find your peace
I'll still be here
For it's the nature of the beast
And my eyes are clear

You take your life for granted
But that won't get you far
You'll never take out
More than you put in
Or you think yourself enchanted
That you can never lose
Will you notice if you win

And as the storm moves toward the east
I call your name
For it's the nature of the beast
To be drawn to your flame

If you ever find your peace
I'll still be here
For it's the nature of the beast
And my eyes are clear

Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's the nature of the beast
To be drawn to the flame

Interpretation

Don't take things for granted. You need to work toward what's important in life.  If you can figure that out, you will find peace, and I will be here waiting for you.
