[Intro]
[Verse 1: Skeptik]
The moon does what the moon does
The wolves howl and consume blood
The sun should be coming up soon but
It's been hours since that moon budged
If the night never ends I hope to die in my sleep
The streets are lined with wolves and entirely bleak
They hunt for no purpose, even tire of meat
But instincts are instincts, desire's at peak
Tryna speak sense is senseless
Ironically it's the part that's still man that prevents this
Plagued by a lack of intention
Logically then, they are above any form of abstention
Mention of consequence brings about consequence
Locking doors at night is just common sense
It's not the darkness, but what lies beneath
Eyes and teeth that deny your sleep
[Hook: Danny G]
Why? Why wolves?
I don't know, because
The smell of blood
Intoxicates them
Why? Why wolves?
I don't know, because
The taste of blood
Intoxicates men
[Verse 2: Skeptik]
The wolves do what the wolves do
Content to cast the blame at the full moon
They speak in human tongue don't let em fool you
One bite is all it takes you'll never pull through
Despite what you might think, they had a choice in this
You think fate catches up to the boisterous?
Nah, it doesn't go that way
They never pray for their prey, no time in the day
And what they say - never mistake it's worth
It's not ink on a page, more like marks in the dirt
Nursing old wounds only reveals where it hurts
So straighten that back and let go of your shirt
It's not a curse if you find yourself content
It could be worse - they also could've raised the rent
Not to be terse, but I can't even hear you vent
From the inside of a hearse it's rather hard to lament
[Verse 3: Skeptik]
We do what we need to
Pull the veil so thin it's almost see through
Draw a blade and you'll see they bleed too
Even with their last breaths they won't concede truth
We need more eyes if we are to understand
How a wolf can be born to a son of man
Throats are slit, hides are tanned
That's what you get for feeding wolves with a stunted hand
So why wolves? How come canines?
Standards eschewed by lack of a baseline
Now I wonder - am I one and the same?
Mammalian flesh circles reptile brain
All of this built upon the weakest of frames
Probably the reason that we reek of game
Used to be us, now they see us, wanna eat us
And deplete us til we bleed dust
[Hook: Danny G]
Why? Why wolves?

The smell of blood

Why? Why wolves?
