Bleeding Paws

by Weeping Wolf   Sep 29, 2005


I can run no longer
I have bleeding paws
My fangs cut my own pelt
As the anger in my savagery melts
I swipe my sharpened claws
as i see them wet with red.

leave this wolf lie here bleeding
I can no longer lead you on
All my hope and faith is gone
I howl hauntingly with the greatest of anguish
My cry echos out ghostly and black
as I collapse in a heap of a puddle
dripping, pouring down is my blood
and tears..falling down like rain.

I will sink away into the mist
My pelt now soaking read
I have run for far too long
From the horrors and pity of life
I fall to my bleeding paws in strife

As my haunting howl cries these sorrows
I sing the joyful misery as my heart is singing

Hallelujah...
such a forgotten hallelujah....

How cruel the world is now
no more air for one last howl
Deaf ears do not seek my wailing pain
Humans do not care as much for music
That as beautiful as this one last howl
Under the stars i cry my long-lost tears.
And panting beside me are my dearest wolves
Who have run all this way with me-
Their paws too, bleed red with regret
and for all of this they will not forget
we were looked by the world full of scorn
so I lay down my dying body for them to mourn

Hallelujah they howl...
She was a broken hallelujah...

We loved her so,
now we shall die with
greatest sadness and woe.
