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 tempt my way in

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl

My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt 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 hollow ground



Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins

I want to find you, tear out all of 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 to 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 hollow ground



And howl



Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers

Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

A man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night

May still become a wolf when the 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 hollow ground
