Lycanthrope

The intruder's coming
Carnivore, I'm learning
Muscles and nerves drumming
Edgy, speeding, burning
Turning
Turning

Feed,... feast 'til ache is quenched
Hunger's all that matters
Distorted fix is clenched
Jaws, fangs, claws, pangs shatter
Splatter
Splatter

Fallen eyes lock lone reflection
Something of stunning connection
To recognize the familiar
And stranger, in me, is living
Will the sunrise be forgiving?
Forgive
Forgive
(forgive me,... beast I see)

There is no mask to fake
No Autumn trick or treat
When nemesis finds wake
And full moon throws white heat
Must eat
Must eat
(until the hunger's fed)
(blood-red, blood-red, blood-red)

Fallen eyes lock lone reflection
Something of stunning connection
To recognize the familiar
And stranger, in me, is living
Will the sunrise be forgiving?
Forgive
Forgive
(forgive me,... beast I see)

... Forgive me
