Call of the Wild

Jaws snap! Driving onward with relentless will Run down, exhaust the herd for the final kill The spirit of predation The strength of the wolf is in the pack that moves as one Howling wild with elation bound we are strong Gather round your weakest ones Wall of horns against their fate Violence is the highest law And from this fact there’s no escape (In) fallen age this wall of horns Protects the feeble form the strong Built from laws and forged from lies It cannot hold for long Violence – is golden (Cleanse the world in river of blood) Violence – is golden (Drowning all nations in hot, holy blood) The wrath of the outlaw The threat and the danger No good can come of your hope There’s always hate And what of the others Those who deceive And those who would forsake their lives A fatal mistake ARISE, TO SEE, THE WORLD SO BREAK OUT THE DRINKS, THERE’S GONNA BE SLAUGHTER THE VANDALS THE HUNS AND THE WOLVES ARE BREAKING THEIR CHAINS THE IRON IS COLD, THE URGE IS PRIMEVAL THERE WILL BE BLOOD ON MY HANDS, VIOLENCE OUR FAITH

Self-flagellation Empty platitudes Death of a thousand cuts Hack their way through you Changing guard New division Empire rise On malediction A 1000 pious candles Born by barren wombs Coward Unter-ratten Consecrate their tombs Changing guard A new division – no submission Empire rise On malediction As dawn chases night time rusts their throne Yet new kingdoms rise Stone by stone As night follows day All must lose their throne Yet new kingdoms rise Stone by stone Over time the veil it does burn If glorious death were my only concern Plague of fire is my morbid vision Stone by stone to extinction Profane is the crime Tragic is the loss Neurotic altruism I deny the new religion Over time the veil it does burn If only death were my only concern I see fires in my great vision Stone by stone to extinction New dark age or extinction So let’s build a new world Upon the ashes of the old We will see our kingdom rise Stone by stone

A howl in the night, your skin is crawling Can’t help yourself, the wildness is calling Under the trance and the spell of the night A yearning for freedom that comes When you learn how to fight Learning to summon relinquish control Yearning desire consumes your soul Relish the pain, blood rings you pride Knuckles split red and you’ve never felt so alive The call of the wild in the black The silence that warns of attack Learning to let loose far from the world Burning till midnight to wolf you’ll turn Forcing yourself in dark flame It’s a sacrifice to the call of the wild Learning to let loose far from the world raging in fires of passion you burn Forging yourself in dark flame It’s a sacrifice to the call of the wild Raging like wildfire hunting for prey Deep in the valley below Reaping like whirlwinds into the prey A gift of death they bestow That night is gone, but alive in your heart Memories of that night threaten to tear you apart Taking the long road, hitching with drifters Riding at midnight like a shapeshifter

So has my truth been tested by time Reckoned by age, trialed by fire? Was there wisdom in what I believed Or was it ghosts by whom I was deceived? The world has now taught me many things And one I’ll pass onto you The world that we are looking for, the world of which we speak Well it isn’t coming soon Dreamers of utopia, delusions and visions Lay down your arms, repent decision For the dead and idealists, nothing but liars This is our trial by fire Better to repeat just one truth, Than to scream a thousand lies For a life without honour is no life at all (It’s) better to have nothing Than the promise of fool’s gold So what have I found on this trail, Free spirits of lost souls? The brave, the broken, the ghosts of desolation Cast upon the shores, and then like burning pyres Though silent, still they are heard Reckoned by age, trialed by fire I climbed one mountainside, to find yet another An eternity of darkness for us yet to uncover And my soul pines for rest In the heat of the flame I desire
