Light turns to shadows,
As day turns to night.
My presence is unknown,
I must stay out of sight.
I grow steadily weary,
The time is drawing near.
Slowly I am filled with dread,
I start to shake with fear.
I stumble to a room,
Lock myself in tight.
There's no way I can escape,
There'll be no killings tonight.
Suddenly the changes start,
In agony I scream.
This is way too much to bear,
I wish this was a dream.
The pain finally stops,
I slowly rise to my feet.
Power surges through my body,
I'm a beast that knows no defeat.
I race around the room,
Frantically searching for a way out.
Frustration grows inside me,
Until I want to shout.
A howl comes from my throat,
I hurl myself at the door.
I will not be stopped,
I never have been before.
The door splinters on impact,
Joyously I howl.
I jump through an open window,
To begin my midnight prowl.
I race through the woods,
The full moon leading the way.
The thirst for blood surges,
I must find my prey.
A smell drifts through the air,
Unmistakably fresh.
I run in that direction,
Towards the scent of human flesh.
Mad with desire,
I fly through the night.
I come to a camp,
And kill everyone in sight.
In the morning I awaken,
In my human form once again.
I realize I'm in the woods,
And my head begins to swim.
I take in my surroundings,
Gasping at the sight.
The ground is covered with blood,
I shudder as I remember the night.
Sorrow fills my body,
As tears fall down my face.
Knowing that I must leave,
I vanish without a trace.
