[Verse] By daylight I stalk their streets Borrowed breath, a stolen name I wear the grin of harmless flesh And choke the fire, cage the flame Their prayers die when I draw near They taste the dark behind my eyes I drink their wine, I fake their faith While something older waits to rise [Pre-Chorus] Hold the pulse — don’t make a sound Claws stay clean, never found I live the lie, I wear their law The beast is still… for now [Chorus] Beneath the skin, beneath the scars I pass as one of you A human face, a blessed lie But the moon cuts through Beneath the skin, I grind my teeth I bend, I bow, I crawl I walk among the sons of man But the wolf will have it all [Verse] By daylight I am ash and breath A fragile ghost in borrowed skin By night I wear a crown of fear Queen of fang, of stone, of sin They call me pure, they call me safe They never hear the howls I choke I swear the vows I never meant And feast on every oath I broke [Pre-Chorus] Holy lies upon my tongue Bloody dreams beat hard and young Chain the curse, deny the call The moon remembers all [Chorus] Beneath the skin, beneath the scars I pass as one of you A mortal mask, a sacred lie But the moon cuts through Beneath the skin, I fold my hands I kneel before their walls I live among the sons of man But the wolf will have it all [Bridge - choir] Non sum monstrum — sed regina Non sum fracta — sed divina Si celavi bestiam Luna scit… ego sum [Final Chorus] Beneath the skin — I claim the truth No chain can hold my call I wore their fear, I learned their prayers Now hear the huntress howl Beneath the skin — no shame, no mask No shadow left to crawl I lived among the sons of man NOW THE WOLF WILL HAVE IT ALL Beneath the skin, beneath the scars I pass as one of you A human face, a blessed lie But the moon cuts through Beneath the skin, I grind my teeth I bend, I bow, I crawl I walk among the sons of man But the wolf will have it all Beneath the skin
