Clouds like hair hide the moon And as you part the hair I'm doomed Under her pale light I roam Not knowin if I had a home Not knowin where it is I'm from Not knowin where from I have come The scent of the one for which I'm hopin The smell of the soil that I'd torn open From the scratch and scrabble of my lopin The pounding blood in my brain My eyes like two mean yellow mirrors Reflectin as I'm gettin nearer The branches tearing at my fur As I am closing in on her O tell me can you feel it dear My panting hot against your ear With thirsty teeth and aching jaws Do evil deeds with greedy claws The heady air of blood and copper Is urging me to go and top her To bear my teeth and rip apart To sink my fangs into your heart Now taking sniffs, now taking sips Now with your entrails on my lips I am your beast, you are my feast I am your beast, you are my feast I am your beast, you are my feast

about

Clouds like hair hide the moon
And as you part the hair I'm doomed
Under her pale light I roam
Not knowin if I had a home
Not knowin where it is I'm from
Not knowin where from I have come

The scent of the one for which I'm hopin
The smell of the soil that I'd torn open
From the scratch and scrabble of my lopin
The pounding blood in my brain

My eyes like two mean yellow mirrors
Reflectin as I'm gettin nearer
The branches tearing at my fur
As I am closing in on her
O tell me can you feel it dear
My panting hot against your ear

With thirsty teeth and aching jaws
Do evil deeds with greedy claws
The heady air of blood and copper
Is urging me to go and top her
To bear my teeth and rip apart
To sink my fangs into your heart
Now taking sniffs, now taking sips
Now with your entrails on my lips

I am your beast, you are my feast
I am your beast, you are my feast
I am your beast, you are my feast
