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
