Quintessenz - Cursed by Moonlight

The moon, it stares from high above, deep into my soul
Underneath a cloudless sky, my instincts take control
Pale light summons me, my consciousness defiled
Nature, I hasten towards you, out into the wild

Rippin' through the dead of night, claws unsheathed to flay
Cursed by moonlight, deadly fangs maulin' prey

A heart-piercing howl sounding from the outskirts of the woods
Window shutters blocked up all around the neighbourhood
Through the coppice I make my way, coming to take one down
Night-time curfew does not apply to the nightwatch of the town

Tattered cloths, blood stained hands, underneath dead old tree
Survived another night with the beast inside of me
