Loupgarou Aka Werewolf
I wish that I realized the day that I got bitten
that from then on my life would be condemned
I know that my future as the beast is truly written
and will be all I know until the end
The hunger that I feel inside now starts at gibbous moon
and keeps me hunting for the next three days
If I had lots more courage I would eat the silver spoon
or let them catch me somewhere on my ways
The need to hunt is strong in me as though the beast is there
and gets to feed the hunger with a chase
it must be that the animal lurks just beneath the hair
and changes with the moon to show this face
I think I'll have to reconcile the beast within the man
and hope that I can mold the beast a bit
while waiting for the next full moon I'll do whate'er I can
to change the hunger to a better fit
The need is gone for this full moon but sure it will come back
to hunt for blood so fresh and clean and sweet
taste iron flavored morsels offered like an endless snack
I know that soon enough I'll hunt more meat
They say that I'm an animal and should be hunted down
and if they only knew that it was me
I'm sure that it would be the end of terror in the town
and it would be the way to set me free
