Skin of a Human

The cold of fall grips my mind
As the nights darkness lengthens
New victims I'm looking to find
My quest for blood strengthens
My thirst to appease this hunger
This insatiable appetite
Ever since I was younger
Flesh devoured this October night

When the full hunter moon rises
It laughs with tears in its eyes
The skin of a human disguises
The taste of a delicious surprise
Transforming into this untamed beast
I track prints left in the murky mud
Tonight I indulge this bountiful feast
Of carved up flesh and blood

Possession takes my body over
And the demons exert their will
Shadows cast provide the cover
Adrenaline provides the thrill
Sister mother father and son
Whispers rustle this restless night
Haunting thoughts come undone
An assortment of flesh I take a bite

Families left with endless tears
I've hidden and never been caught
Then like a ghost I disappear
I'm not what you had originally thought
For only this night it happens
For tomorrow again I'll change
Back to a wolf unmaddened
From the skin of a human deranged
