The 28th day She'll be bleeding again And in lupine ways We'll alleviate the pain Unholy water Sanguine addiction Those silver bullets A last blood benediction It is her moon time When there's iron in the air A rusted essence Woman may I know you're there Hey wolf moon Come cast your spell on me Hey wolf moon Come cast your spell on me Don't spill a drop dear Let me kiss the curse away Yourself in my mouth Will you leave me with your taste? Beware The woods at night Beware The lunar light So in this gray haze We'll be meating again And on that great day I will tease you all the same

    General Comment:"hey wolf moon, come cast your spell on me"
    In many wiccan red magic spells, menstural blood is used by women in love potions, which when ingested by the man they desire causes him to fall completely and eternally in love with her. Especially relevant giving the over all gothic appeal of this song, and if we think of the Wolf Moon as being symbolic of the egg lost each period, rather than an actual physical moon

    General Comment:In a poetic fashion, Steele could have been writing that when a woman comes to her time of the month, he finds it erotic and enticing to go down on her. It's a play on the gothic appeal in music and lyrics. Almost a satire and a joke, but he plays the part well.

    I do agree that this song is creepy, erotic, seductive and gross--all at once.

    General Comment:When ever I went down on my girlfriend that certain scent or "essence" seemed so familiar but I could never quite put my finger on it. A thirst for blood or actual "sanguine addiction" could be attributed to iron deficiency and when I heard these lyrics I put two & two together and thought "wow, that's exactly it, a sort of rustic iron scent. That's crazy when you think about it, the scent of a mineral being apparent in blood.

    General Comment:Love this song. Also, a Wolf Moon is what a full moon is called in the month of January. I just learned that and it took me back to this song. Reminds me of when I got the album when it first came out. I was 17.

    General Comment:For the longest time, I too thought this song was just about werewolves, and I knew the lyrics inside and out, lol. I guess its just a testament to how this song is both very subtle...yet really obvious if you think about it the right way. Extremely well crafted lyrics.

    I think this is a beautifully sensual song. I've since come to just see the werewolf elements as just being metaphorical for the empowerment a man recieves from sexually gratifying his lover. In this song, the woman is not asking for his help...he's willingly offering himself.

    There seems to be a few elements to indicate that the man is performing oral sex on the woman not only because he is turned on by it, but also because she is having pains and sex/orgasm can provide relief for that. Note "we'll alleviate the pain...let me kiss the curse away".

    However, if you understand Peter Steele and his song writing style, my guess is that he probably decided to write this song because he thought it would be funny to write such a sensual song about menstration cunnilingus. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% sure Pete has done this with a woman, but he also sometimes likes to write songs just because its a humorous topic, even if presented seriously.
