This new incarnation of Death SS would record their first full length album, ...In Death of Steve Sylvester. Their would be many line-up changes in the years to come, with Sylvester once again being the only constant member.
Werewolf
Death SS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel a strange sensation
a dark unwell in my brain
tell me baby what is happening?
The moon is higher tonight
it's full and red as blood
her light makes me blind
The moon's ring is glowing always so much
the night becomes all so bloody
and a growing fury makes one's way on me.
Now yeah, now I realize!
I read the terror that's born in you!
It's him who wants this happen
it's him who now's the master of me!
I see my body covered by hair
teeth an ears are prolonging more!
I'm changed! I'm no more a man!
I'm become a Werewolf!
Now my view strikes terror into you
your frightened eyes are waiting death
you know that HE's now inside of me
so you're the victim of my new being!
This night I'll tear you into pieces!
My claws will caress your corpse
and your blood will satiate my thirst
'cause tonight I'm a Werewolf!!!
The lyrics of Death SS's song "Werewolf" depict the transformation of the singer into a werewolf under the influence of the full moon. The song begins with the singer feeling a strange sensation in his brain, which is followed by the appearance of a full, red moon that blinds him. The moon's ring glows brilliantly, and the night becomes bloody and frightening. The singer then realizes that a terror is being born inside him, and that he is no longer the master of himself. He undergoes a transformation into a Werewolf, and his view strikes terror into those around him. The song ends with him expressing his desire to kill and tear his victim into pieces.
The song's dark and gothic lyrics are well complemented by the heavy metal music, which features distorted guitar riffs and pounding drums. The song was released on the band's 1983 album "Horror Music", which was widely regarded as a landmark release in the Italian heavy metal scene. "Werewolf" remains one of the band's most beloved and iconic tracks, and is played regularly at their concerts to this day.
