Lyrics
Twelve times the bell doth chimes
Thus darkness enshrouds all
Upon misty ground; a biped hound
By moonlight held in thrall
Sulphur eyes reflects the skies
As lanterns burning twine
It's cold gaze rapt upon the face
From which blood doth runs like wineI am superior, the perfection of all lowly beasts
The surpasser of humanity - evolution as complete
I am a god-made-flesh, a horror in your reality
Bestowed with immortality - immune to life's diseaseBranded by the silver moon
To take the shape of a human wolf
To hunt you down like the sheep you are
Devour your flesh, likewise your bloodPale light falls upon the wooden walls
Wherein the sleeping lies
Yet unaware of the sinister stare
Which through the window spies
Handlike paws adorned with claws
Strikes through glass so frail
Thus pleasant dreams ends, so it seems
As their torn-out heart doth failThe snow lies tainted with crimson stains
From the bodies dragged out towards the plains
Blizzard winds whips a face gone white
With twisted features depicting frightSilence as the wind in your breath
Escapes through your wide open throat
Extinguished like a solitary candle
Left out in the midst, of a raging storm
And thus it ends, this dark fairytale
As the last of your life slowly fades awayBranded by the silver moon
To take the shape of a human wolf
To hunt you down like the sheep you are
Devour your flesh, likewise your bloodI am superior, the perfection of all lowly beasts
The surpasser of humanity - evolution as complete
I am a god-made-flesh, a horror in your reality
Bestowed with immortality - immune to life's disease
I am superior, the perfection of all lowly beasts
The surpasser of humanity - evolution as complete
I am a god-made-flesh, a horror in your reality
Bestowed with immortality - immune to life's disease[1]
