Distant, but the recollection grows many miles, but closer still the memory
Grey shadows lurking that sweep and carve through moonlit night
Now fall in my semi-conscious panged regression
Ravenous jaws agape-claws protrude the sward
Denizens of the forest baring teeth and snarl
Starving eyes aglow, piercing through thickening mist to see the game at bay
Watching the gate, in wait like prey
For broken stillness from the shaded thick
Since witnessing the infants slain
Watching from a distance in helpless horror far away
Side by side, unhallowed stride
Ten thousand miles wide
Though hunger burns in all things, it's conquest burning these
Apologies dead for drive
Fleeing the scene, fleeing the scene, I could hear them sing
With dead breath of relished flesh, we serenade the night
With scabbed claw we deadly aggressors stalk the land in search of more
No one at all escapes this plague, this decimation
Running till death, set free, roaming-no one will stop it
Moving from town through country viciously to the next
Our town, now I'm found surrounded
As if on command-a snarl, a twitch-they frenzy flood for early pick
Reserve an inch, an arm, the head, secure a claw hold, tooth niche
Blood squirts and drips black oozing slicks from skull born holes to licking, lapping lips
Shredded skin unzipped, sacks of organs spill
The sickening sound of crunching, breaking ribs
Crawl helpless child, mutilated and disfigured
Dismantled in an instant, landscapes are re-carved
Buried under bodies, left in a decomposing field to rot
I lie awake, though strength is drained as pooling blood collects near severed limbs
And visions stain my wounded brain of the horror brought when the wolves came into town
Fatigue, like flocks of ravens, dispels-replaced by fear
Wailing howls fill the sky
Fleeing the scene, fleeing the scene, I could hear them sing
With dead breath of relished flesh, we serenade the night
With scabbed claw we deadly aggressors stalk the land in search of more
Where prey is found, I will be found
Alarming numbers howling the sound
The dead breath serenade
We stalk the land in search of more
