Album: Rise Above the Meadow
Caught in shadows
Hidden low away from the sun
In the silence where the safety is found
Beneath the stones, within the soil
In the warmth of the ground
They rest their weary heads
From dust until dawn
But as the day breaks
She climbs upstairs
Though the fear surrounds
The taste of the air
And sudden shapes just quickly appear
On the northern hill not far from here
And all those greedy eyes
And all their eager sighs
As all their howls raised her scare
Setting off, no time to spare
Her sentence was clear
As all their eyes of lust
That held her so dear
Oh, you hear them howl
As they come through the woods
Muddy trails and rugged trees and the light in her eyes
She slowly ran along as fast as she could
Beyond the rural safety, just too old to supply
She just ran and ran as fast as she could
And all those greedy eyes
And all their eager sighs
As all their howls raised her scare
Setting off, no time to spare
Her sentence was clear
As all their eyes of lust
That held her so dear
Oh, you hear them howl
As they come through the woods
They’re closin' in on your path
They are drawn to your blood
Crimson patterns resurrected
On that torn, old wooden floor
She gets forced by their hatred
Deep in behind those well-locked doors
And they’ll howl, howl
Yes, they’ll howl, howl
Jaws are fighting for that pleasure
Dark breath so far far from grace
Until all of her is wasted
Crooked, silent there she lay
And they’ll howl, howl
Yes, they’ll howl, howl, howl
Oh, you hear them howl
(Oh, you’re gonna hear them howl)
As they come through the woods
(Oh, as they come through)
They’re closin' in on your path
(They are closin' in)
They are drawn to your blood
