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
