Phases of the Moon

The Lone Wolf's warning to those who walk the night during a Full Moon.

Beware the nights when you see the full moon rise
Heed the warnings of the lone wolf's cries
Watch the moon change as it counts down to the night of the beast
Hunting down innocent souls making them his feast

As the earth's shadows dance across the moon
The crisp night air is filled with the smell of the wolf banes bloom
The seasons change turning the air hotter and colder
With every year that passes the legend grows older

The killings are the only way they seem to remember
The mound of bodies I leave january through december
This is why I'm forced to move from town to town
Always feeling like these people are staring me down

When they look at me they could never see the pain that lies within
Not knowing the burden of carrying a monster born of sin
But they will never get the chance for soon I'll be gone
After tonight's full moon I'll have to move on

Always moving to a new town, a new city but with a different name
But my reason for living is all the same
For I am at the Devil's right hand
Cursed to have to obey his every command

I always wonder who the wolf will kill tonight
Who's life will be taken by the full moon's light
What will happen after I lose control
How can I stop the wolf from consuming my soul

I go into the woods and wait to be taken
Never knowing if I'll ever awaken
The sun finally sets as daylight starts to disappear
Stars all over the dimming sky start to appear

As day fades to gray and dusk settles in
The moon breaks the horizon signaling for the nightmare to begin
So as night falls I see the full moon rise
Losing myself in the lone wolf's cries.
