Howl (Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall / 2024)

[Verse 1]
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in, but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

[Refrain]
Howl, howl
Howl, howl

[Verse 2]
Now there's no holding back, I'm aching to attack

[Refrain]
Howl, howl
Howl, howl

[Chorus]
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers

[Bridge]

Hunters, hunters

Hunters, hunters

[Verse 3]
The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest

[Chorus]

It starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

[Outro]
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in, but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
