Howl - Barren Earth

I taste the broth that seeps down through the gorge

I wipe the blade I once wrought from the forge

The taste of flesh, the ash of oaken fires

I bide my time by the mire until it dries

To me the world is a heart

No chambers void, some shallow

And when the light prepares to depart

A pulse for my breath to follow

I sense the throes of twilight born anew

I fear its wrath as all my brothers do

Though life turns dark and movement steals the night

I rejoice in the spoils at morning light

To me the world is a heart

No chambers void, some shallow

And when the light prepares to depart

A pulse for my breath to follow

Retrieving senses dormant while daylight reigns

The eyes of dusk ignite

A promise of teeth and claw

Revoke my bones from sleep

Upon my tongue a feral howl

Stars!

Watchers of the dark

Blood drips from my wailing plea

Stars!

I seek your blessing

To paint the blood of my hunter

Upon the weapon that reaps my prey

To me the world is a heart

No chambers void, some shallow

And when the light prepares to depart

A pulse for my breath

A pulse for my breath to follow
