Wolf Totem

I breathe fire like a dragon killing demons And I fight hard to kill the devils in my heart I blow steam like an engine running through the night Keep pumping ‘else my motor’s gonna fall apart I survey down like a falcon during midday Looking for my next meal, seeking resolution And I charge on with a wolf totem within me Always alone without a pack to call my own As I make the earth my throne I become apart My wandering soul won’t let me rest; always more I rumble on with a wolf totem within me My teeth bared, I light the skies with my holy war To seize the day is a battle fought within us But we’ve gotta bleed if we wanna win the game We all need a wolf totem deep inside our hearts If we want the minstrels to sing our given names
