1. Nocturnal Eternal
2. A Vicious Cycle
Detached rationale
Decaying morale
Divorcing ourselves from remorse
Mercy’s decay
Rotting away
Compassion snuffed out at the source
Victims of a cold indifference
Are they so much less than we?
Nurturing a deficiency of conscience
Lost in our grandiose reality
Condoning through silence
Unwarranted violence
Against those that we should defend
Compassion rejected
Humanity neglected
This cycle must come to an end
Turn a blind eye
So quick to deny
The suffering of those with no voice
If it can happen to them
It can happen to us
It’s only a matter of choice
With lower forms labeled expendable
A terrible lesson is taught
The value of all life is lessened
A departure from rational thought
When acts of viciousness go uncondemned
Our minds become warped and jaded
The value of life in our clouded eyes
Is slowly minimized and degraded
Morality and mercy deferred
‘til their notion is all but deceased
An ignorance born of vanity
Denying the pain of the beasts
Exploited for simple amusement
Cruelty for cruelty’s sake
Desensitization transcends
A connection that we simply cannot seem to make
Spiraling out of control
Seeds of violence will grow
Morphing into an ugliness
Upon which reason cannot be bestowed
Conditioned by social acceptance
The perverse becomes common place
Brutality rotates in full circle
A monstrosity we all must face
3. Spirits of the Native Warriors
Across the plains the echo blows
Whispers of battles past
Of genocidal bloodshed
Resisting to the last
The whispers speak of courage
Of dignity and pride
Defenders of their culture
Of family and tribe
Warriors of honor
Fighting to the death
Defying the invaders
‘Til they’d taken their last breath
Expansion of brutality
Manifest at any cost
Murder of identity
A history is lost
Hold on to tradition
Passed down from ages old
Learning of the heritage
From tales the elders told
Fearless in defiance
The warriors stood their ground
Gathering strength from the spirits
To cast their enemies down
They came in greater numbers
Shooting fire from their hands
An overwhelming wave of force
Too powerful to withstand
Honorless opressors
Hunting them like game
An enemy that knew not
The boundaries of shame
4. Serenity
5. The Hunt
6. Reflections
7. Blood of the Wolf
Shroud of night
Awakens the pack
Sharpens the senses
Renews vitality
Moonlight lament
Song of a dark catharsis
Nocturnal chorus
Pierces the placid air
Ritual of rites
Exudation of strength
The weaker submit
Establishment of dominance
To run with the pack
Is freedom defined
Feel of cool moist earth
Beneath my eminent feet
Brotherhood strong
Bonded within
Spirits are one
Carnivorous kin
Standing as one
Staking our claim
Territoriality
We shall remain
Lunar inflections
Shoot from the skies
Shimmers of silver
Glow in our eyes
Children of night
Guarding our keep
Singing in darkness
As others sleep
Forest cloaked in darkness
Is where my kind reigns
Here we are rulers
Kings of unbounded domain
Survival of the fittest
At one with the pack
Indigenous members
Of lupine society
Scent of the prey
Thrill of the hunt
Smell of warm flesh
Nowhere to run
Quickening pulse
Unrelenting pursuit
Closing in fast
Following suit
Sensing the fear
Imminent death
No time to cry out
Take the last breath
Primal incursion
On fallen beast
Spilling the blood
Time for the feast
Clan of the wood
Here is our home
Gaia goes with us
Wherever we roam
On sacred ground
Demons will call
Some will survive
Others will fall
Taking what's ours
For their desires
Filling their needs
Feeding their fires
We will persist
Decree of the breed
Though we be diminished
We shall not concede
Spirits will walk
On hallowed night
Join with the living
Call for the fight
Legions unite
Fight to survive
Only the chosen
Will come out alive
Ancient are we
Bringers of visions
Denied our nobility
Pushed toward extinction
Banding together
Though many be gone
Death will not stop us
Our spirits live on!
