Wolves of the Mountain

November 15th, 2015

We howl with the wolves and follow the moon
We're coming to a village near you soon
Into the mountain is where we reside
My Doomsday cave and my warrior tribe

We don’t see ourselves as little or small
Our collective drive will surprise you all
We live in the ruins, ghost towns and mines
Far from your hatred and civilized crimes

We’re all training hard, our muscles are tight
With passion so fierce, we love through the night
Re—wild the West, with sails painted black
Breathe the blue flower, become the attack

Work must be done to prepare for the game
We embrace the storm while praying for rain
We’ll hunt for our meat and gnaw to the bone
Then hang all the skulls in front of our home

We have many scars our skins become thick
Our minds are aware and intellect quick
My group will be strong our care is intense
At first what seemed odd, now makes so much sense

Unique and extremely interesting. Fabulous phrasing ~ '...breathe the blue flower, become the attack,' '...we embrace the storm while praying for rain,' and brilliant imagery! BRAVO Kyle, and welcome to the Soup... Best wishes, Keith
