The Phantom of the Werewolf

[verse] Life was simpler, neighbors warm, ‘fore the rumors came and started swirling. That was all before the storm sent their sense and their fears a-whirling. [verse] Someone said they heard that someone saw something prowling only while the moon was full. Maybe fangs and maybe claws. So was born their phantom werewolf. [chorus] Through the dark part animal, clearly not like them. Few if any’d seen the thing. Its phantom fed their dread. [verse] Some are skeptical when they hear this or that by someone somewhere. Others seem to cheer on the fear. Magnifying things, mostly air, barely there. [chorus] Through the dark part animal, clearly not like them. Few if any’d seen the thing. Its phantom fed their dread. Just making your way through your day can be enough. But really what could be the good to fear the phantom of the werewolf? [chorus] Through the dark part animal, clearly not like them. Few if any’d seen the thing. Its phantom fed their dread. [outro] No one ever saw that beast appear, Some still stalked by creaks and shadows. All they fear becomes a puppeteer, In a cage that’s all their own.
