Theme
A powerful song centered on a predatory, mesmerizing, and dangerous female figure, the **'She-Wolf'**. The lyrics are highly evocative, portraying her as an 'evil mother' and a 'wicked temptress' who leads men to their doom through lust and terror.
Lyrics
The mother of all that is evil
her lips are poisonous venom
wicked temptress knows how to please
the priestess roars, "get down on your knees"
the rite of the praying mantis
kiss the bones of the enchantress
spellbound searching through the night
a howling man surrenders the fight
One look in her lusting eyes
savage fear in you will rise
teeth of terror sinking in
the bite of the **she-wolf**
My desires of flesh obey me
the lioness will enslave me
another heart beat than my own
the sound of claws on cobblestone, i'm stoned
One look in her lusting eyes
savage fear in you will rise
teeth of terror sinking in
the bite of the **she-wolf**
Beware what stalks you in the night
beware the **she-wolf** and her bite
her mystic lips tell only lies
beware what stalks you in the night
beware the **she-wolf** and her bite
her hidden will to kill in disguise
