Wake up screaming in the silence
Jagged shards and raining dust
Relive the sharp collapse
Dread rasping memory
Shivering in your high-rise mausoleum
The purple sun descends upon the starving city
Shadow season bequeathed and barren
You watch as scattered torches
Flicker from the broken windows
Stabbing hunger pangs and panic
Like the memory of static
Though you rationed every morsel
Days have passed since your last meal
Desperation drags you further
And you're creeping through the rubble
In the darkness of an alley
The knife blade glinting in your hand
Awakening the wolf inside
Bare your teeth and howl
Reclaim your nature
Awakening the wolf inside
Would you, could you
Take a life to survive?
A small sharp cry
Descent, delight
The violent heave of splintering ribs
The cries of pain were over quick
But the scavengers are moving in
Hear them baying in the night
As you try to catch your breath
In the sobbing silent aftermath
When you're left to lick the wounds
(Does a numbness overcome you)
Waxwork eyes stare in mute judgment
Terrible its vacant, knowing grin
White curve taunting beneath
Bewildering rage inflamed
The hunger, the shame
(The fear of what comes next)
Feel the blade guide you beneath
Ecstasy, a ripping delirium
Coerce the skin's confessions
Through black streams
Decant the heart's last vintage
Crack the bones and gorge on marrow
Limbs plunging to stir the embers
Sunrise came and found you sated
The fugue of carnage slipping away
Shattered senses slow to reconcile
The blood black wreckage
Choking taste of iron
Wake up to the dusk choir
The screams and laughter echoing
Surrounding shadows inking terror
Hushed among the hopeless
The city is a hunting ground
No longer shall you cower
(Tonight you prowl)
Fly into blackness unashamed
Stalk silent, drawn to the sound of whimpering
Drink deep the fearful scent
Transformed by the savagery
Sing to the moon for all to hear
"Despair, another beast is free!"
Years of ease and manicures
Denial of your claws
The primal self too long subjugated
Gather blades and sharpened stones
To split the flesh and chip the bone
Anything to render meat
Sharpen your teeth to points
Grinding enamel to a cannibal grin
A sight to shed the skin
Awakening the wolf inside
Bare your teeth and howl
Reclaim your nature
Awakening the wolf inside
Would you, could you
Take a life to survive?
