Bite and Squeal

Lost little lamb
 Strayed from the herd
 Gather the hunt
 Give out the word

 Prey in the darkness
 Scent in the air
 Ravenous hunger
 Jaws that will tear
 Blood’s in a fever
 Electrical thrill
 Senses on fire
 We sprint for the kill

 Run it down 
 Bring it to ground
 Slash the throat
 Smash the crown

With blood and steel
 We turn the wheel
 Fates are sealed
 The bite and the squeal
 Hot flesh for your meal
 Is life

 Belly is full
 Sleep steals my mind
 The pack fades away
 They leave me behind

 Wake with a start
 To a feeling of dread
 Some nightmare from hell
 Is out for my head
 The hunter is hunted
 I run for my life
 Through fog shrouded forest
 Can I survive?

 Run it down 
 Bring it to ground
 Cry of the hound
 Such a beautiful sound

Production Notes:

---

The last song written for the album, Bite and Squeal was inspired by the growly sound of the P90 loaded Gretsch semi-hollowbody guitar which performs the rhythm track. To this bite, I added the Sustainiac driven lead (much of it using the harmonic excitation mode) which resulted in the squeal. A combination of binging on Game of Thrones and 80’s Iron Maiden inspired the dog eat dog lyrics. Realizing I’m not a metal singer I opted for a more David Bowie “Cat People” vocal style instead.
