Black dog (unreleased) Lyrics by The Rats

0

[Verse 1]
The dog is howling again
And I think he's back for blood this time
There's no room on the pyre for another one
So I'll give him my bones
To feast on
Tonight
[Verse 2]
God, if there is a god, they know
That I've sinned beyond all comprehension
I curse the very image I own
Like a moth curses a flame
Long after it's drawn
[Verse 3]
Though I know
That he's gentle
And more afraid than could possibly
Possibly be
I am torn by its teeth
And I am scattered in front of myself
For all to see
So
[Verse 4]
Sew me back up with silver thread
So the wolves may not tear me to shreds
Sew me up under moonlit skies
So I may embody all the beauty
In its eyes
Its eyes
Its eyes
