Howling For Me.
Howling beasts
Gnashing teeth
Out for blood
Bloodless eyes
Spikes a plenty
No love in there
Or out here
A never ending hunger
An unquenchable need
Fetid breath
Making me retch
Handing out justice
Whoever they go
Unfair justice
To some but not to all
Black as midnight
Dark as sin
Heartless, soulless, nameless, fearless.
Reaching deep down inside
Places you will never find
Nowhere to hide
Don't want to die
Nowhere to run
Must reach the sun
Chase odd the shackles
That bind me here
Raise up my hackles
As they draw near
Now is the time
To stand up and fight
Now is finally the time
To watch them take flight
Cast of my fear
