Among Wolves

The Autumn Offering

Vampires fled to foreign lands, asylum for the 
disconnected*
Hope died within his hands, a shroud for the protected.
Preying on the blood soaked lamb, destruction complete.
Is this the American dream?

A man of no compassion, wages war of attrition, to awaken 
the beast within.
It's coming back around.

Have you forgotten me?
For the wounded I stand.
You fled when you left the broken.
The curtain's falling down for you.
Can't hide again.

They hide the scars, the shame.
The rapist across the sea.
Who will hunt down the wolf?

When our own country fails us, are we so far gone into 
the flames?
Burn Hollywood to the ground.
Salt the ground, buried face down.
(Stand among serpents)
The western world in thrall.
All you motherfucking bleeding hearts, let the oceans 
swallow you all.
The knife rises, the noose tightens, no man can escape 
his fate.
