lyrics

I feel a trembling
Underneath my skin
Last night I dreamt I had a thirst for blood
Tore through the flesh of men
Blood and saliva
Were dripping from my fangs
And when I awoke I realized my crimes
What have I become

Well I pray they win for all the best
They've heard my call from east to west
I'll feel this hunger rage again
As this ancient curse it howls

They speak of what they've witnessed
That a devil is in their land
A prowler is in the darkness
And I'm a wanted man
I've terrorized the village
The blood is on my hands
I've devoured men and women

I was captive in their bounty but the wolf inside was bound
Then I took a load of buckshot, no they couldn't bring me down
But when the silver strikes my veins will I be free again
Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me

When the silver strikes my veins will I be free again
Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me
