Wolf in the Shadows
Hearing the rabbit's deafening cry
Knowing it was about to die
It ran from me by the moon's pale light
Still I chased in the froth of rage
Enticed of shredding soon to wage
Still fueled of the sport of the unfair fight
Am I chasing or running away?
Am I the hunter or am I prey?
Yet not from this rabbit did I question so
Still there's something stronger yet
My target in front I oft forget
As the nag of my pursuer draws to and fro
The midnight horse has come for me
As bullets rip my leg in three
One less Wolf to chase the hare
I collapse in charge to grind the ground
Numbness now felt all around
And the midnight horse left me lying there
I look up into the moon
Feeling my time had come to soon
Feeling I should have had that one last kill
Death has taken over now
The rabbit lives to hear my howl
As they come for me and I know they will
Lame of leg, unable to flee
The hunters watching over me
They smile more to my desperate cries
As one pulls a silvery knife
I let go of my fading life
And ever slowly I close my eyes
There in chaos of that day
I knew the horse was coming my way
But still in pursuit I refused to fail
The shadows are a part of me
It's in death where I'm most free
Come to me, midnight horse, come drive that nail
