Men like me must live with our sins

The boil in my blood like a fire ‘neith my skin

as I search every face for the marks of my kin

for no one else may know.

What I became with the moon overhead

in the glow of their torchlights when the caught us in my bed

when I found him in the churchyard he was already dead

my lover my sweet, darling one.

When Man lies with Man we are killed for our crimes,

but they’ll wish the first life they’d taken was mine

because wolves hunt in packs and the death isn’t kind;

The Forest looks out for Her own.

It was full Harvest Moon on the night we returned

I knelt by the spot where his body was burned

and I tore off my clothes and I howled my grief

and then we turned our teeth on the town.

And it wasn’t my first taste of the sweet flesh of man

as we descended on the town, every wolf in the land

and our hot breath and our white fangs grew wet with the blood

Listen To Tank And The Bangas On NPR’s Ask Me Another

On the first night of our Tiny Desk Contest tour, Tank and the Bangas appeared at the Bell House in Brooklyn, N.Y. for a live taping of NPR’s Ask Me Another. You can listen to them play a short set — and compete to see whether Tank knows Disney songs better than Albert does.
