I wrote this about 14 years ago and have gone through several recordings of it during that time. It's one of my favorites. The recording fades in intentionally.
It's just me with help on a few tracks by various other musicians including my brothers. While I'm not a singer I am singing on all of these tracks because I di
My songs are my soul. These have been collected over years of songwriting and performing on single cassette decks, 4 tracks, and even digital recorders. In some cases the quality is pretty bad and in some cases so are the performances, but overall the emotion of each of these songs comes through as intended and is therefor (in my opinion) complete. I believe any form of music has something to offer, so long as I just listen....

Story behind the song
Quite a long time ago, my bandmates and I used to play role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Werewolf after practice. This song was initially inspired by Werewolf but became more of a song about the secrets people keep and how they can become as monsters within.
Lyrics
They've taken away my hold on life. I can't believe what they tell me. Will the end be my salvation? Beginning with you I drank the blood red wine. The days spent crying can't be counted, Wishing I knew who I was There's no use, no use in trying. You take the sails and take away my wind. So how can I live my life, waiting in the dark? The mind knows secrets not fit for most of us. Clawing at my soul, inner spirits sing. At home adrift, in the dark, what demon is this? Was it me or was it you? Will I ever know the reasons? Can I sleep without the nightmares? I feel that wolf chewing his way out. He takes a little more everyday, but that's the price we pay. What I've got, you have given, this I will accept. But forever remember what I say now, If we meet again I'll rip you limb from limb. I will rip you apart...let the games begin. I've walked on the Earth, I've spoken to Luna. I've seen the Wyrmn and tasted hot blood. I know the truth, I've seen my death. I've seen the dancers and their black spiral web. So how can I live my life, waiting in the dark? The mind knows secrets not fit for most of us. Clawing at my soul, inner spirits they sing. At home alone, in the dark, what demon is this? So how can I live my life, waiting in the dark? The mind knows secrets not fit for most of us. Clawing at my soul, inner spirits they sing. At home alone, in the dark, what demon....
