I feel the growing need The scent of blood will draw me closer The pallid moon above emits Its searing light on me Below my feet I feel the soaked ground Of the haunted woodlands Red mist before my eyes The threshold of bestiality Running free in gloomy night Altered by the warping light Free the beast kept deep inside Blood Moon Rising! Bestial fangs pierce frightful skin Release the enemy within Pale light reflects on wolfish grin Blood Moon Rising! Beware all living souls For I'm the hunter in the shadows My sharpened senses will receive The sweet scent of my prey I run alone, just the white orb Illuminates the prowler No one is saved Until the birds announce the day My eyes pierce the darkness, I howl at the moon A blood-curdling wailing penetrating the silence
Gore coalesces on the ground I have stalked on The Blood Moon unveils my testimony of violence All nightly predators obey my need And heed my calling My tortured baying to the night sky Haunts your very sleep I hear your screaming Red eyes are gleaming No-one can run when his fate strikes so soon Warm blood runs free in the light of the moon Blood Moon Rising! (2x) The beast in me, the carmine breed Struggling awkward to break free A different shape bursts forth from me The full moon's eye is all I see My eyes pierce the darkness, I howl at the moon A blood-curdling wailing penetrating the silence Gore coagulates on the ground I have stalked on The Blood Moon unveils my testimony of violence
