I'll tame myth
Before you
Those creatures
Of the dark
Brought into
The light
You feared them
As well as others
Pretend
They didn't exist
Just brush them
Off your mind
Like the shiver
On your skin
As they brush
By you
They exist
I hope you
See that
While I
Care for them
Tame them
Give them
The knowledge
Oh yes, I
Always knew
They exist
Creatures of Unknown
Feed from me
I'm taming them
Taming myth
