From the recording The Moon Series
This is a song about facing all your fears and looking a little closer at all things fear. Death, life, anxiety, depression.... From the boogie to the reaper to the tax man. About the many mountains we climb in life and the lessons we have to conquer. We all have it in us to howl right back and prevail.
Lyrics
Oh black bird yeah
What you say to me
Your poison words just won't let me be
The dead are dancing as I drive out of town
Room 16 with no one else around
Vices and vexes, woman and sea oh death knocks at your door
Will lay you down will slowly watch you fall
Howl at the moon
Run through the voodoo waters
Walk through the walls
Awake in the witching hour
Spoken too soon
I can feel it they're getting closer
Suspended above
I said howl at the moon
yeah, howl at the moon
Out of the garden
Serpentine dancers
Caught up in the madness
Woman let me be
Lost inside the blackness
Children of the sun
Nothing else matters
Everybody falls when you
How at the moon
Swim through rippling waters
Not a moment too soon
Nothing else really matters
Hit the edge of it all
Shuffling through the darkness
And everyone falls
When you howl at the moon yeah
Howl at the moon
Reaper man depart
I said lay your burden down
Wicker man don't come to me
I said lay your burden down
The thinning veil of broken dreams I said
Lay your burden down
The quiet edge of a knife
Lay your burden down
Vices and vexes, woman and sea oh death knocks at your door
Will lay you down will slowly watch you fall
Howl at the moon
Run through the voodoo waters
Walk through the walls
Awake in the witching hour
Spoken too soon
I can feel it they're getting closer
Suspended above
I said howl at the moon
yeah, howl at the moon
