A lonely wolf am I.
To sit and howl on sleepless nights,
Frozen wings bowed in shame.
A lonely wolf am I.
To sit outside the window,
Looking in on daily life
Forgottenin song and place and time
A lonely wolf am I.
What is this crunching?
That wrenching pain?
A broken wing,
Shattered in vain?
A sad, lonely wolf am I.
The Hunter of Life pearched,
Poised to strike the lonely beast,
Gives deathly dark chase
After the lonely wolf I am.
Wings still broken,
Crippled by that sound,
Footsteps fall behind the wolf
Voices ringing in its head.
What are these voices?!
What is this pain?!
Make them stop! MAKE THEM STOP!
BANG!
Silence. Sweet silence.
But what is this pain?
This dreadful, soothing darkness?
One last howl.
One last mournful song.
One last breath.
A lonely wolf am I.
To sit and howl on sleepless nights,
Frozen wings bowed in shame.
A lonely wolf am I.
To sit outside the window,
Looking in on daily life
Forgottenin song and place and time
A lonely wolf am I.
What is this crunching?
That wrenching pain?
A broken wing,
Shattered in vain?
A sad, lonely wolf am I.
The Hunter of Life pearched,
Poised to strike the lonely beast,
Gives deathly dark chase
After the lonely wolf I am.
Wings still broken,
Crippled by that sound,
Footsteps fall behind the wolf
Voices ringing in its head.
What are these voices?!
What is this pain?!
Make them stop! MAKE THEM STOP!
BANG!
Silence. Sweet silence.
But what is this pain?
This dreadful, soothing darkness?
One last howl.
One last mournful song.
One last breath.
A lonely wolf am I.
