Chorus:
I’ve cried, oh so many nights
I’ve died, oh so many times
Black eyes, darker than the skies
Howling at the moon
Feel like an animal inside
I’ve seen the dark side of the moon
I know a place where darkness hides
Pirates exist, but they steal your life
Strife, envy, murder and adultery try
To catch you in a web
Full of the enemy’s lies
Don’t try to bribe, negotiate, or make ties
Flee from temptation
Wipe them tears from your eyes
Yeah
Chorus
I know a place where the lost congregate
The goons are out
The joker's makeup is caked
I know a house where nobody’s asleep
Where the spells are being cast
The puppet master’s playing tricks
If you can hear these words
Then run from the house of the rising sun
Chorus
I know a man that transformed in the night Howling to the tune of the moonlight
The werewolf combated the man's soul
His deathly grips locked in a strong hold
His addictions to drugs and gambling
Drove him to the street
Where he was begging and pan handling
Scrapping change off the floor for his fix
Man he was scrambling
The Devil had him tricked
Now children please pay attention
Only God can fill a hungry soul
Not drugs or attention
And when his flesh and his body were consumed
He pleaded for mercy
Cuz the beast left him hurting
