The Wolf of the Night

 

By

Oh, wolf of the night, what darkness you bring,  
Your howling announces the setting sun;  
Over sacred forests where your brethren sing,  
To the rising moon, a wondrous one.

As a child of Fenrir, I see in your eyes,  
The suffering caused by this modern world;  
Longing to live free under arcane skies,  
Yet into steel and smoke you are hurled. 

Oh, wolf of the night, please lend me your paw,  
As I wander through the gnarled forest path;  
For these woodlands are ruled by ancient law,  
And forever protected by Odin's wrath.

You call yourself Judas and I call you friend,  
A shared meeting between a wolf and a man;  
Modernity's woes made your species contend,  
To rightfully claim their ancestral land.

Oh, wolf of the night, tell me what you find,  
Beneath the branches of each stately oak;  
Teach me the tales of your mysterious kind,  
Past down from Managarm to all lupine folk.

The changing of seasons bring forth a new year,  
To which will be heralded with the wolves' call;  
And yet all shall bow and shed a lone tear,  
As they watch sadly the ancient runes fall.

Oh, wolf of the night, I must bid thee farewell,  
For it is time I leave your hallowed ground;  
But know that one day, my spirit shall dwell,  
Within these sacred woods and all around.
