Unleash the Beast Lyrics

We walk the line of good and bad
We have a laugh and we are sad
No matter if you're rich or poor
You can run but there's no cure
You can run but there's no cure

A time to rise, a time to fall
Who saw the writing on the wall?
One last kiss to wake the lust
A super spread kills all of us
A super spread kills all of us

Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed

Spread your wings, little bird
Time has come to save the world
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
A hurting soul, a human being
A hurting soul, a human being

Spread the message, love rules
Let's turn around this ship of fools
We keep on dancing in the dust
Some stay alive and some are lost
Some stay alive and some are lost
Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed

Unleash the beast
Oh!

Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming when you bleed

Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed

What did Scorpions say about "Unleash the Beast"?
Genius Answer

Klaus Meine:

That’s a crazy little song that was very much inspired by going from lockdown to lockdown. We were in our own little bubble in the studio here, trying to get away from the cruel reality of the pandemic. ‘We keep dancing in the dust until the super-spreader kills us all' is one of the lines there. It sounds like a bad movie from the ‘80s, but I’m afraid this is 2022, and this is the world we live in.
