Deep inside the heart lurk

betrayal and the lies

what way could I speak to be

both mild and wise?

I cant make it undone

neither change my name

'fore you get forgiveness

bit head off your shame.



I swear I never want to

cause you harm or hurt

but which way I look now

my eyes will avert

I am you offending

the night is suspending

the sinner is awake

its the hour of wolf.



Ive told you that I love you

and its also true

but there is someone else

and its not only you

I could gobble her up, with

drooling jaws her take,

and I would also do so

just for its own sake.



In my loneliness -

and noone else will know

my love is for both

thats the cause of my woe -

with no punishment and

without remorse?

Knowing this at least:

its the hour of the beast.



May I come to you now

but for just a while

Luther has gone home and

I kiss you and smile

then Ill make my mind up

yet there is some time

I see what Im doing

its my life and my crime.



Until this very day

I saw myself as a lamb

and thats what I would be

and thats how it should be

Im giving it all up

my ultimate downfall

the sunlight of the morning

will chase the wolf away.



Oh I ought not be asinging

Oh I should not be so meerying

Oh my love hast gone to wander

Oh my dear one went for journeying
