THE BEAST

"The Scarred" is available to stream on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/VeilOfTheSerpent The lyrics for the song were inspired by the epidemic of homeless veterans in America. Here's the link to a great organization called America's Homeless Veterans: https://www.ahvets.org/ . They are comprised of Veterans helping Veterans overcome the challenges of homelessness. It only takes about $500 to get a Veteran off of the street and $25 a month to keep them off the street.
