Unchain the Wolf

"Bleed out!

It's the burden of your clan

So son, bleed out

It's our sorrow, and our fate

So boy, bleed out

It's written in your veins, you know

Your fathers hung themselves with rope

And this here, it's your destiny."

So I

Set foot in this sacred place again

But it's gone

All vestige fucking gone

I hold your empty gaze in mine

But must I leave our past behind?

"The spine of nature bends blind."

Farewell; my will is thine

This is the end

This is my last unmaking

Unchain the wolf

This is the end

Lineage stands unbreaking

So unchain the wolf

What hell is this

That seethes before my eyes?

Is this what I called home?

One last nail for the god you failed

That's all

That's all I have to give

"Stop shaking, make a noose

This rope, it held your father; it can hold you

The taking of our men too soon

Is old

Older than you

Older than me

It comes whether you're ready

Or not..."

Never again

Slumbering embers to wake

Only the dead

Celebrants here in decay

Withered life

Dream again

"Give me your hand

As a pledge of sincerity"

The twilight fades

All fortresses sink below

The surface of the roaring waves

Open his maw

On earth, in sky; sun and moon devoured

Between the great beast's gaping jaws

Go!

The mirror gaze

Is fractured, and it's a lie

The ashes of some distant blaze

Swallow me whole

Leave my good eye with the wanderer

To set aflame the bowels cold

Go!

One more time

Here's to demise

This is the end

This is my last unmaking

Unchain the wolf

This is the end

Heritage stands unbreaking

Unchain the wolf

Unchain the wolf
