Oh, they forsook their lair
When the moon was whole
And upon a kind-hearted soul
They found solace for their hatred

They gnawed at his flesh with impunity
He bled like a fountain
And in his own blood he kept drowning
They never felt pity

They were once friends at daylight
Laughed in the cool breeze at dusk
Had a friendly brawl after many cups
Before he reclined to rest his tired eyes

He didn't see what their stomach concealed
Not until the Moon whispered their pain
But it was too late to run, for now he is lame
Their contempt was openly revealed

Their eyes glowed a sharp red light
A boiling lava subdued their iris
More like they contracted a virus
To share the pain is their delight

Oh, they forsook their lair
When the moon was whole
And upon a kind-hearted soul
They found solace for their hatred
