Lyrics

I am looking through my window
It's still day outside
But very soon the lights will go
All the lights will go out
I can see my neighbors outside
They are all such fools
They think their lives are so safe
Ha, if they just knew

Oh, the moon, the wicked moon
Strike me with your gaze
Forge my flesh into a beast
A man with lupine face
Oh, the pain, the acid pain
Which burns me from within
Do consume my sanity
And let the change begin
Now

In the outskirts of the village some little children play
They seem to have lost track of time, forgotten it's not day
If they still will be out there playing when the moon is round
I will have to devour them whole, ensuring no parts are found

Still I'm looking through my window
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the moon to rise
And soon it will be time
For all those who may be outside
When the night has fallen
To pray unto whichever gods
They might think will save them

Oh, the moon, the wicked moon
Strike me with your gaze
Forge my flesh into a beast
A man with lupine face
Oh, the pain, the acid pain
Which burns me from within
Do consume my sanity
And let the change begin
Now

And so it is time at last
I begin to change from man into wolf

Oh, the moon, the wicked moon
Strike me with your gaze
Forge my flesh into a beast
A man with lupine face
Oh, the pain, the acid pain
Which burns me from within
Do consume my sanity
And let the change begin
Now

Ah, my nails and my teeth
Razor sharp to be
Dark gray fur bursts through my skin
Through yellow eyes I see
