Eire's blog: "Some Favorites, Not My Own"

Songs from the Dark Side of the Moon Of Wolf and Woman v.1 LaLoba lives, no longer prey Look into my yellow eyes Moonlight glinting from my fangs I smile at you and analyze v.2 The jugular pulses, blood-filled, warm I lick my lips and hungrily stare I laugh at your cocky arrogance, man Your skin is so fragile, easy to tear chorus While you crouch in fear next to your fire Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high You sneer in your pride, but your black heart knows Mortality means even you will die deep inside where you cannot hide you know some day, some day you'll die v.3 You believe I am beaten, a mottled cur You believe I fear your gold and power You believe every word you tell yourself But your eyes cannot meet mine... and you stare down at the ground... and I tense to spring as I watch you cower... v.4 I will do battle with you, human man The last thing you'll hear before one of us dies Will be a snarling, bloodthirsty howl... A wolf frenzied by her children's cries chorus While you crouch in fear next to your fire Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high You sneer in your pride but your black heart knows Mortality means even you will die deep inside where you cannot hide your black heart knows, it knows you lie v.5 If I must take the mortal wound My children will remember and keep my fire They will know I gave everything I could give** And you'll have... money in your pocket a dead man's name to ride on look in the mirror...the damned face of a liar... **chant (solo) every drop of blood every breath, every thought every word I spoke, everywhere I walked... every prayer, every song, every joy every pain... every God damned or blessed moment... I did it for them and I would do it again... Chorus While you crouch in fear next to your fire Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high You sneer in your pride but your black heart knows Mortality means even you will die deep inside where you cannot hide you know some day, some day you'll die Copyright 1998.
