Deep inside the heart lurk
betrayal and the lies
what way could I speak to be
both mild and wise?
I can´t 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
it´s the hour of wolf.

I´ve told you that I love you
and it´s also true
but there is someone else
and it´s 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
that´s the cause of my woe -
with no punishment and
without remorse?
Knowing this at least:
it´s 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 I´ll make my mind up
yet there is some time
I see what I´m doing
it´s my life and my crime.

Until this very day
I saw myself as a lamb
and that´s what I would be
and that´s how it should be
I´m 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
