Lyrics

As the full moon do rise over nocturnal skies
The sheep of mankind are trapped in a vice
They best stay inside their own houses and hide
Or else they'll be caught and split open wide
The darkness and cold in the shadows do hold
Creatures straight out of the stories they're told
These tales they are real as the truth will reveal
Werewolves exist and your lives they will steal
Making you their meal

So weak and frail we hold you in contempt
Devouring you all, leaving no exempt
You're our designated prey

When the full moon rises
We shed our human skin
And thus exposing
The lycanthrope within

What was that sound? The girl turn around
It sounded like feet that were padding the ground
But no one is there her eyes do declare
Just the full moon which maliciously stare
But not far behind where her sight cannot find
Someone is hiding and it's not of her kind
Watching the prey it's attempting to slay
Soon it must strike or she might get away
Kill her without delay

Torrents of blood permeates the mud
Rivers of red flowing from her head
Now the feeding begins

We are what your children have seen when you hear them scream
Watching them through the window; we're real and not a dream

When the full moon rises
We shed our human skin
And thus exposing
The lycanthrope within

As the full moon do rise over nocturnal skies
The sheep of mankind are trapped in a vice
They best stay inside their own houses and hide
Or else they'll be caught and split open wide
The darkness and cold in the shadows do hold
Creatures straight out of the stories they're told
These tales they are real as the truth will reveal
Werewolves exist and your lives they will steal
