follow the wolf

Follow The Wolf


The morning slowly came, my life about to end
Then the wind would change, all but one had left
The angelic wolf had stayed, without a word she said

Follow me, follow the wolf
And so I followed the wolf, up the wooded mountain side
Close to the top... she suddenly stopped
Sun to the East, man and beast
Just two silhouettes... in a landscape never to forget

Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the village beneath
A few and distant roads all leading away from here
Nobody in the streets... decay
I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her till the end
The end

The wolf had turned around, facing higher ground
And there it was... The House of God
In awe I looked as time had stopped
Follow me

I had never seen a church like this before
"This Place Is Terrible" inscribed above the door

Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the church within
A few and distant thoughts, inviting me in to sin
Nobody in the church... decay

Shrouded in a gloomy light, as if my final night
I wonder if God was ever here
Or did he turn away in fear, did he turn away in fear?
