Cover art for The Wolf Is Loose lyrics by Mastodon

"Daylight Hide the skin Cut it of Scatter ash in the wind" (it's daylight and he's changing back)

Shapeshifters rolling on winds of tyrants make Fierce lore of fanged horn Danger all the way Night's sea reflection The faces of bodies slain Returning to the form of natrual human's fate (a ruler has sent soldiers to look for him, he runs off, in danger of being caught the entire way. when night comes he is looking out over the sea and see's all the people he kills as a werewolf.)

Grown from the cold Spirits Unclean Dealer of the days The ice will thaw (he's grown cold, or ashamed that he killed someone and dirtied his spirit, perhaps "dealer of the days" and "The Ice will thaw" some how refering to him wanting to die, but deciding against suicide because he hopes he will make it out of his problems.)

As the solider walks thru the crimson side Researchers of aftermatch Dispelling disarming man One-toed horses subject of genesis And the immigrants (mean while the soldiers have found his killing, probubly a really bloody mess or a large massacure, and this causes people to arm themselves in a hunt for him. not really sure about the other 2 lines though)

Fundamental side of a human mind Hulder folk and fairies So belive (noteing that it's natural for people to no belive in werewolfs, but now that they have been attacked by one they think it's real. not sure to the exact definition of "hulder" though.)

The hero of the gods The crossing of the threshold The Belly of the wale Refusal of Return (recap from the begining)

hope that helps every one. this is actually one the only mabey 3-4 songs i really love on this album. they're all great, but this one catches my ear the most.
