Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
[Chorus]
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
[Verse 2]
Now there's no holding back, I'm making 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 hallowed ground
Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all your tenderness
[Chorus]
And howl, howl
Howl, howl
[Bridge]
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
It starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters, hunters
[Verse 3]
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 hallowed ground
[Chorus]
And howl
[Outro]
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
It 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 autumn moon is bright
[Outro]
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 hallowed ground
