To the Wolves At My Door - Soulfallen

This night I hear the jackals

Baying to a desert god

In the dark, the growing whispers

Have begun tearing scars

The foul breath of Anubis

Breathes fire down my back

And the wolves have drawn nearer, begun coiling

For the coming attack

I yearned to see, but my eyes were already crystallized

I yearned to survive, but my fears had already materialized

Like serpents, this dark entangles

Ties me to the soil

And (even) the strangers in my reflection

Have begun to recoil

I yearned to cry, but the waters were already crystallized

I yearned to live, but my death had already materialized

Now the light no longer blinds me

Your dying gods, they cannot bind me

And as I exit this human aisle

I greet my hangmen with a smile

And to the wolves at my door

Prolong this suffering no more

With your fangs come and this strife

And erase my name from the Book of Life
