"For the strength of the pack is the wolf,
and the strength of the wolf is the pack."

--Rudyard Kipling

v.3
You believe I am beaten, a mottled cur
You believe I fear your gold and power
You believe every word you tell yourself
But your eyes cannot meet mine...
and you stare down at the ground...
and I tense to spring as I
watch you cower...

v.4
I will do battle with you, human man
The last thing you'll hear before one of us dies
Will be a snarling, bloodthirsty howl...
A wolf frenzied by her children's cries

Chorus
While you crouch in fear next to your fire
Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high
You sneer in your pride but your black heart knows
Mortality means even you will die

Background chant (repeated)

deep inside where you cannot hide
you know some day, some day you'll die

v.5
If I must take the mortal wound
My children will remember and keep my fire
They will know I gave everything I could give**
And you'll have...
money in your pocket
a dead man's name to ride on
look in the mirror...the damned face of a liar...

...for my children

v.1
LaLoba lives, no longer prey
Look into my yellow eyes
Moonlight glinting from my fangs
I smile at you and analyze

v.2
The jugular pulses, blood-filled, warm

I lick my lips and hungrily stare

I laugh at your cocky arrogance, man

Your skin is so fragile, easy to tear

chorus
While you crouch in fear next to your fire
Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high
You sneer in your pride, but your black heart knows
Mortality means even you will die

Chorus
While you crouch in fear next to your fire
Hear me howl when the moon rides full and high
You sneer in your pride but your black heart knows
Mortality means even you will die

Background Chant (repeated):

deep inside where you cannot hide
your black heart knows, it knows you lie

**chant (solo)
every drop of blood
every breath, every thought
every word I spoke, everywhere I walked...
every prayer, every song, every joy every pain...
every God damned or blessed moment...
I did it for them
and I would do it again...
