It looks like this weekend is when I either succeed or fail.  Bearing that in mind, I decided to take a line and a half of lyrics that I scribbled down the other day and run with them.  I finally realised today that they were exactly the sort of thing I’d been looking for to go with a couple of riffs I posted way back on the first of the month:  sketch2 and sketch4.

I’ve had a completed backing track built around these riffs lying around for two or three weeks now and I was starting to think I’d never have the words to make it into a song (I’ve got a track that’s been in the same same state since November 06, so it isn’t that far-fetched).  But here we are – three hours after starting to write the lyrics, I’ve bounced down a complete demo track and I’m writing a blog post about the whole thing.

Wolf

Wolf

Staring at the moon

It’s calling me

Changing – it’s coming soon

I’d advise you to flee

The hair at the back of my neck start to grow

The pain racks my body and I lose control

 

Shape shift; lycanthropy

I can’t control what’s hapenign to me

This curse from just one bite

Now I’m the scourge of the night

I’m the wolf

 

 Bloodlust gripping me

The moon holds her sway

Howling; a scent on the breeze

Close in on my prey

Stealthily closing with all of my skill

The moment is here and I go for the kill

 

CHORUS

GUITAR SOLO

 

In the grip of this madness retribution comes

Hunted and hated

They’ve got silver bullets in their guns

 

CHORUS
