Lyrics

    Ooooh,
    Run away, the past will bite again
    Ooooh,
    No matter where you dwell
    You,
    Here again, a captive of the howl
    You, 
    Welcome back to hell
    
    Faithful, as the full moon is rising
    Beauty and the Beast are colliding
    
    Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
    Deepened seed soaks angers reign
    Arching back, shape-shift derange
    Father, how I watched you change
    
    Am I savage?
    Scratching at the door
    Am I savage?
    I don’t recognize you anymore
    
    Ooooh,
    Tooth is fang, twisting under skin
    Ooooh,
    Foul tongue, black breath
    Change,
    Snap inside, the Beast about complete
    Change,
    Soon infects the rest
    
    Faithful, as the full moon is rising
    Beauty and the Beast are colliding
    
    Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
    Deepened seed soaks angers reign
    Arching back, shape-shift derange
    Father, how I watched you change
    
    Am I savage?
    Howling at the door
    Am I savage?
    I don’t recognize you anymore
    Anymore
    
    Ooooh,
    Inheritance, the past has bit again
    Ooooh,
    The next heir of anarchy
    Feel,
    Stretching skin so far beyond belief
    I feel,
    The ever changing, you, in me
    
    Am I savage?
    Scratching at the door
    Am I savage?
    Howling evermore
    Am I savage?
    I don’t recognize me anymore
    Anymore
    
    Anymore, ha ha ha
    Am I savage?
