I am the wolf without a pack
Banished so long ago.
I've survived
On another’s kill
And on my shadow home.
All I've learned is
That poison will sting.
No one remembers
The names of martyrs or kings.
No one remembers much of anything
That came this way before.
I am the wolf
Combing the beach.
Too hungry to shy away:
The carcass of a leviathan
Sways gently on the waves.
I hope this shelter is enough
To keep me warm.
Upstairs the heaven's
Giving birth to winter's storm,
But I've been dying
Since the day I was born.
That much I know is true
I am the wolf
High, wild and free.
A picture on a shelf.
I burn this house down to the ashes.
A law unto myself.
All I've learned is
That poison will sting.
No one remembers
The names of martyrs or kings.
No one remembers much of anything
That came this way before
That came this way before
I am the wolf,
I am the wolf,
I am the wolf…
