Lyra's Lullaby

I've heard you wandering the woods by moonlight. I know you heed no advice When forest air pulses like a tomb The bravest of humans think twice Oh surely you've heard the stories, terrors Those who did not return You call them dead but with no pallbearers In shadow they shine In sunlight they burn But you're more fun in the darkness, darling. Less afraid of the flame. Did you forget what was out here snarling Or maybe you thought it was tame When you let down your defenses, sweetness What did you let through the gates Oh there's no poultice to mend this, treat this Horror and freedom awaits Awoooooooooo-oo Awoooooooooo-oo Join us and share in the hunger that never sates Sleek and deathsome, a moondrunk hunter Perhaps you thought you were prey Did you hope you would die, I wonder Too bad you don't have a say Just let go of your senses, youngling The world you knew pale and dim It can't compare to the life that's coming When you let new instincts in Awoooooo-oo Awoooooo-oo Find what you're missing and learn what you've always been Awoooooo-oo Awoooooo-oo So much is ending tonight Let's begin (Increase tempo) This isn't some disease you can catch Oh the legends are lying Takes more than a scratch You were born with the Mark Heed the call of the pack When the full moon is near to the ground So forsake your concerns For the straight and the narrow A monster that yearns For vitae and marrow An answer at last for the purpose you've never found I've heard you howl at the sky in chorus I've seen the bones in your lair When humans speak of the Beast of the forest I smell the fear in the air When you took down their defenders, Warrior What did you feel in your soul Now that you're Hunting with us for glory you're Part of a much greater whole Awoooooo-oo Awoooooo-oo I'll give you power and all that I'll take is Control
