Big Bad Wolf lyrics

There's one tale that begins Deep, deep in the forest I came upon you so sudden A girl in the midst of the woods My eyes adjusted to color I saw a red riding hood Slowly creeping closer to you But little did I see the hunter in you Now little nightmare You have beautiful eyes I can see all the stories Where beasts go to die I'm the bad wolf of fables And my hunger still roars Come let me feast upon all that is yours I wondered how I would catch you Should I play with my prey? I failed to notice the glint of your knife And the smirk on your face Far crueler than mine Now suddenly I see Why they call you a monster and not me Now little nightmare You have beautiful eyes I can see all the stories Where beasts go to die I'm the bad wolf of fables And my hunger still roars Come let me feast upon all that is yours I took my chance And came up beside you I flashed a grin Watched as your eyes grew I tell you come closer You abide my words I open my maw And fall to the dirt You've come to take my skin To wrap my teeth around your throat You've come to make some coin To fashion yourself a new coat And I should have seen it all Come close But the forest hides the truth And only it will know Now little nightmare You have beautiful eyes I can see all the stories Where I'll go to die I'm the bad wolf of fables Yet your hunger roars more Come feast upon all that is yours
