Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm hungry like a wolf

I bleed like a wolf

I'm lost and I'm lonely

I hunger for you only

Don't leave me now, don't break the spell

In heaven, lost my taste for hell

Taste for hell

Taste for hell (mm-mmh, mm-mmh)

I'm haunted like a wolf

I feed, I feed like a wolf

I'm lost and I'm lonely

I hunger for you only

Don't leave me now, don't break the spell

In heaven, lost my taste for hell

Taste for hell

Taste for hell, oh, oh

...

Into the wild with me

Into the wild

Into the wild with me

Into the wild with me

...

Into the wild

Into the wild

Into the wild

Into the wild

Into the wild

...

Into the wild, into the wild

...
