He's on the prowl...
Slowly, slowly
I creep, I creep
into the wood
I seek, I seek
the goddess, the maiden
that presides over night
I’m drawn to her essence
her light, her light
So I creep, I creep
the time has come
to worship the moon
it’s begun, it’s begun
onto the rocks
I climb, I climb
to howl at her
it’s time, it’s time:
a transformation,
a change, a shift
from man to beast
so swift, so swift
a transformation
a shift, a change
gone is the human
only instinct and rage
she gives me power
oh might, oh might
so quickly I steal
into night, into night
I seek my prey
magnificent feasts
of tender flesh
and I’ll eat, and I'll eat
for now is the time
that I creep, I creep
through the dark wood
and I seek, I seek…
