Shifter by Kindred Crow

Flames alight inside me
Draw the shadows to my side
Sable softly drapes me
New claws for me to hide
In my eyes the burning light
Still shows despite the dark
Softly passing through the night
Carrying the spark

Break the cage
Burn the mask
Shift my skin
Don’t look back

To the woods and wilds with me
Release the works of man
At last to set my soul free
To run while I still can
All the world now shifting
Race swift beneath the trees
A shadow cut and drifting
Faster than the breeze

Break the cage
Burn the mask
Shift my skin
Don’t look back
Break the chains
Slip the keep
Shift my skin
Take the leap

All the parts of me I hide
Swimming toward the light
All the words I never cried
Sung into the night
All the parts of me I hide
Swimming toward the light
All the words I never cried
Howled into the night

Bloody as the rising moon
Fierce as the coming storm
This is the truth within me
Regardless of my form
In a cloak of claw and fang
I see the myths were wrong
There was nothing brought this on me
It was in me all along
