The song is "The Thing That Should Not Be" by Metallica.

"Released in 1979, the film 'Prophecy' tells the story of an environmental horror brought to life. The original concept was to feature a monster prophesied to return, according to local Native American lore, and seek revenge against those who wreak havoc upon the forest. However, due to costs and budgeting, among other things, the production of the film resulted in a ridiculous plot and unimaginative mutant-bear when it released in theaters. It would find a cult following due to VHS and cable broadcasting. The song is somewhat similar in describing the horror of the film, and combining the two felt more than natural; even supernatural. The cast is the kind one might imagine or expect for this kind of story, and might've been slightly better had it been produced in the last 10 or 20 years instead, when it could've had other options to bring the monstrous Katahdin to ferocious bear. Enjoy!"
