Thought you should know, there'll be hounds on your trail again
Can you hear them? They're baying at moonlight
Guess I should mention the hounds'll be me and my friends
Take cover; they're thirsting for your blood
Love, for my soul, do you know that I can't walk away
I remember you dreaming of conquest
Love, since I know you, you know that I can't walk away
I remember you thirsting for their blood
Are you aware that I know when you're telling me lies?
Though you court me, I haven't forgotten
And there are times I think all that we share
Is our eyes and our blood - is it mine you've been wanting?
Love, for the dull and the witless I save from your hands
(will those innocents learn to take cover?)
Love, more than love I feel duty you can't understand
(though I love you, it's them I would dream of)
So, as I say, there'll be hounds on your trail again
Forgive me; they're coming for your blood.
