This Darkness

I am wild
I am nature’s child
And I run through this darkness

With my claws and teeth
Search for what’s beneath
As I explore this darkness

Through the woods I prowl
Bare my teeth and howl
And I challenge this darkness

And then the prey is gone
And so the hunt is on
As I smell fear in this darkness

So off I race
As I give chase
To the one who flees in this darkness

And the fear smells good
Racing through the wood
I am the heart of this darkness

Till the prey falls down
Till my teeth pull down
And I hear screams in this darkness

And the flesh I tear
And the bones lay bare
So white and red in this darkness

And my flesh stained fangs
End my hunger pangs
As I gorge in this darkness

Feel the power serge
As our bodies merge
And hear me roar in this darkness

And I become aware
Of their still-eyed stare
And I am dead in this darkness

I look down on me
My torn flesh I see
And I mourn in this darkness

And salt water stir
And disturbs this fur
As I change in this darkness

And my truth I speak
I am not a freak
And I am whole in this darkness

For I am strong
I will carry on
And I’m at home in this darkness

Moon crowns this night
With stars so bright
I am one with this darkness

And the ground is me
And everything I see
And I am all in this darkness

I am wild
I am nature’s child
And I run through this darkness
