Something's Taking Over Me

Be it a song on the wind or a whisper through the woods,
I leave my house under starlight, trembling to the world.
Shore up your defences, guard against your foes,
There's black art in the night fall, silver upon your throat.

And something's taking over me
For all the world to see.
I got a hunger I can't feed.
There's a devil at work in me.

(Oh Lord I never wanted
This black heart,
A tainted bloodline to night trails,
The cruellest moon at work in me)

The forces that act upon me cause me to engage.
I take no comfort from the catch, no pleasure in the chase.
This lifeblood, this lifeblood coursing through my veins.
Free from the code of man, I am his world unmade.

And something's taking over me
For all the world to see
I got a hunger I can't feed.
There's a devil at work in me.

(Oh Lord I never wanted
This black heart,
A tainted bloodline to night trails,
The cruellest moon at work in me).
