Howl

If you could only see
The beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems
You've set it running free
Screaming in the dark
I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest
To taste your beating heart
My fingers claw your skin
Try to tear my way in
You are the Moon that breaks the night
For which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin
Try to tear my way in
You are the Moon that breaks the night
For which I have to
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
Now there's no holding back
I'm aching to attack
My blood is singing with your voice
I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now
The ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet
Across the hallowed ground
Like some child possessed
The beast howls in my veins
I want to find you
And tear out all your tenderness
And howl, howl
Howl, howl
Be careful of the curse
That falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet
And turns them into hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
The fabric of your flesh
Pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms
I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now
The ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet
Across the hallowed
Ground
And howl
Be careful of the curse
That falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet
And turns them into hunters
A man who's pure of heart
And says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf
When the autumn Moon is bright
If you could only see
The beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems
You've set it running free
The saints can't help me now
The ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet
Across the hallowed ground
