Big Bad Wolf

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
