Let the Beast Rage On
(Scene starts with a mournful Pitch gloomily looking around at Jack's pond in Burgess, under a full moon. He wears the armor and clothing of a general, as well as a scarlet cape with a golden clasp. Song begins after he looks at his reflection in the pond.)
The moon glows bright in the woods tonight
No light, no good, can't feel a single thing
A kingdom of desolation,
And it looks like I'm the king
The wind is howling like this vicious beast inside
Couldn't hold it back
Only the moon knows how hard I tried
Don't let them out,
Don't let her see
Be the good man you always had to be
Shove it down, don't try to feel
Don't set them free
Well, now it's free
(Pitch tosses off his armor)
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold them back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the prison door
I really don't care anymore
What I'm afraid they'll say
Let the beast rage on.
The dark never frightened me anyway.
(Pitch undoes the clasp of his cape, which flies away on the wind)
It's really funny how a bit of space
Makes all my sins seem small
And the Fearlings and Nightmares that once controlled me
Inside me have their place
It's time I saw just what I'm capable to do
To test the limits of my power and into the world of fear break through
No wrong, no right, no consequences, no laws to hold me back
Now I'm freed!
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the shadows and the night
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me lose a fight
(Pitch plants a foot firmly on the space that will become his lair)
Here I am now
And here I'll for eternity be
Let the beast rage on.
(Pitch waves his hands, creating a hole that he falls into, where he continues to shape his lair with his dark magic)
My powers slither through the air and seep into the ground
My soul is spiraling in shattered shadows all around
(Pitch's shadow powers form cages on the ceiling)
And one thought solidifies like a sandy blast
I'm never going back, my past is long since past
{Thank God!}
(Pitch removes a locket with a picture of his daughter in it from around his neck, and takes one last look at it before he tosses it away)
Let it go, let it go
(Pitch runs his hands through his hair and spikes it)
And I'll rise like the dead of night
(Pitch creates his current shadowy garb through his powers)
Let it go, let it go
That perfect man is long gone
Here I am
Before the dawn of day
(Pitch struts out in his lair as moonlight shines down on him as he sings 'Here I am' and 'Before the dawn of day')
Let the beast rage on
The dark never frightened me anyway.
(Pitch gives a smirk before turning around and vanishing into the shadows)
