Greenleaf - Howl

HOWL Caught in shadow Hidden low away from the sun, In the silence Where the safety is found. Beneath the stones, Within the soil, In the warmth of the ground They rest their weary heads From dust until dawn. But as the day breaks, She climbs upstairs Though the fear surrounds The taste of the air. And sudden shapes just Quickly appear On the northern hill Not far from here. And all those greedy eyes And all their eager sighs As all their howls raised her scare. Setting off No time to spare, Her sentence was clear As all their eyes of lust That held her so dear. Oh, you hear them howl As they come through the woods. Muddy trails and rugged trees and the light in her eyes, She slowly ran along as fast as she could. Beyond the rural safety just too old to supply, She just ran and ran as fast as she could. And all those greedy eyes And all their eager sighs As all their howls raised her scare. Setting off No time to spare, Her sentence was clear As all their eyes of lust That held her so dear. Oh, you hear them howl As they come through the woods. They‘re closing in on your path, They are drawn to your blood. Crimson patterns resurrected On that torn old wooden floor, She gets forced by their hatred Deep in behind those well-locked doors. And they'll howl, howl Yes, they'll howl, howl. Jaws are fighting for that pleasure Dark breath so far from grace, Until all of her is wasted Crooked, silent there she lay. And they'll howl, howl Yes, they'll howl, howl, howl. Oh, you hear them howl (You’re gonna hear them howl) As they come through the woods (Oh, as they come through) They‘re closing in on your path (They are closin’ in) They are drawn to your blood.
