The Full Moon (The Rest of It)
Tonight is the full moon, through the clouds it’s blazing bright,
And from the tingle I feel in my bones, it’ll be quite a night;
It’s the one night a month that the moon has control,
I can feel it in my being, all the way to my soul;
The sway the moon holds over me, is calling out in victory,
I can feel it now I’m letting go, soon the monster will be free;
Just one night a month the beast can roam,
And it’s the one night a month that I never come home;
The brute takes over my body and will,
And destroys everything with deadly skill;
All I can do is sit back for the ride,
All conscious thoughts are trapped inside;
So many times I’ve tried to get out,
But I can’t even do so much as a shout;
When the demon inside me once again is at large,
Beware to you all, because I’m not in charge!
