Lyrics

Intro

distant howls under a full moon, crackling campfire, sparse acoustic with low growling slide

Verse 1

Made camp in the desert when the moon was round and whiteThought I’d finally rest after riding hard all nightBut the wind carried something that made my blood run coldDistant howls getting closer… they’ve been tracking me I’m told

Chorus

Full moon pack is coming for meWerewolves on my trail, half-man half-beastEyes glowing yellow in the pale moonlightThey’ve followed my scent for days and nightsFull moon pack… no place left to hide

Verse 2

First shadow moved between the rocks, still walking on two legsShirt torn to ribbons, face half-covered in fur and dreadThen the others dropped to all fours and started circling tightGrowling low and hungry under that cursed silver light

Chorus

Full moon pack is coming for meWerewolves on my trail, half-man half-beastEyes glowing yellow in the pale moonlightThey’ve followed my scent for days and nightsFull moon pack… no place left to hide

Bridge

I threw more wood on the fire, grabbed my silver knifeThey flinched at the flame but kept closing in for the fightOne lunged from the left, I put a bullet in its sideBut the pack just laughed with bloody jaws open wide

Solo

dark, howling electric guitar solo — long mournful bends, wolf-cry slides, moonlit reverb

Verse 3

Ran through the cactus with claws snapping at my backHorse was long gone, just me and this deadly packEvery time I thought I’d lost ‘em a new howl cut the airThey’re playing with their food and they know I ain’t got a prayer

Chorus

Full moon pack is coming for meWerewolves on my trail, half-man half-beastEyes glowing yellow in the pale moonlightThey’ve followed my scent for days and nightsFull moon pack… no place left to hide

Bridge

Dawn is still hours away and the moon won’t setI’m out of bullets and covered in sweatIf I make it to sunrise maybe the curse will breakBut right now these beasts are deciding my fate

Solo

aggressive, predatory dual-guitar solo — raw distortion, chasing rhythms, pure desperation

Final Chorus

Full moon pack is coming for meWerewolves on my trail, half-man half-beastEyes glowing yellow in the pale moonlightThey’ve followed my scent for days and nights
