Lupine Moon

Blood of the Wolf

Lupine Moon


Shroud of night 
Awakens the pack 
Sharpens the senses 
Renews vitality 

Moonlight lament 
Song of a dark catharsis 
Nocturnal chorus 
Pierces the placid air 

Ritual of rites 
Exudation of strength 
The weaker submit 
Establishment of dominance 

To run with the pack 
Is freedom defined 
Feel of cool moist earth 
Beneath my eminent feet 

Brotherhood strong 
Bonded within 
Spirits are one 
Carnivorous kin 

Standing as one 
Staking our claim 
Territoriality 
We shall remain 

Lunar inflections 
Shoot from the skies 
Shimmers of silver 
Glow in our eyes 

Children of night 
Guarding our keep 
Singing in darkness 
As others sleep 

Forest cloaked in darkness 
Is where my kind reigns 
Here we are rulers 
Kings of unbounded domain 

Survival of the fittest 
At one with the pack 
Indigenous members 
Of lupine society 

Scent of the prey 
Thrill of the hunt 
Smell of warm flesh 
Nowhere to run 

Quickening pulse 
Unrelenting pursuit 
Closing in fast 
Following suit 

Sensing the fear 
Imminent death 
No time to cry out 
Take the last breath 

Primal incursion 
On fallen beast 
Spilling the blood 
Time for the feast 

Clan of the wood 
Here is our home 
Gaia goes with us 
Wherever we roam 

On sacred ground 
Demons will call 
Some will survive 
Others will fall 

Taking what's ours 
For their desires 
Filling their needs 
Feeding their fires 

We will persist 
Decree of the breed 
Though we be diminished 
We shall not concede 

Spirits will walk 
On hallowed night 
Join with the living 
Call for the fight 

Legions unite 
Fight to survive 
Only the chosen 
Will come out alive 

Ancient are we 
Bringers of visions 
Denied our nobility 
Pushed toward extinction 

Banding together 
Though many be gone 
Death will not stop us 
Our spirits live on!
