Tier has been widely translated as 'animal', including in the source material I'm using, but I've gone with 'beast' in my lyrics. It fits the short, sharp nature of the song better:
What's on his mind
What's on his mind
The man who can't tell beast
Apart from his own kind
What
His own young daughter's soul
He burns for heat like coal
He's onto her like a dog
He swallows her down whole
What you do
What moves you
What are you
Apart from a
Beast
What's on her mind
What's on her mind
The woman who can't tell beast
Apart from her own kind
She writes out in his blood
A dark letter to her youth
Lines bring out all past truth
When her father was the brute
What you do
What moves you
What are you
Apart from a
Beast

As ever, this is a work-in-progress.
