  • Artist Info: In the Goddess Times<br />
    <br />
    In the goddess times when the moon reigns full<br />
    And the pack starts up as they feel the pull<br />
    And the paws push fast as they feel the night<br />
    All the forest runs howling with delight<br />
    <br />
    In the hunting times when the scent reigns thick<br />
    When the ears are keen and the teeth are quick<br />
    And the barks and yips sound along the path<br />
    All the forest feeds and the savage laugh<br />
    <br />
    In the quiet times when all sleep reigns still<br />
    And the sated pack has no lust for thrill<br />
    And the warmth of kin is their main desire<br />
    All the forest rests by the quiet fire<br />
    <br />
    In the threatened times when the dark reigns high<br />
    And the shadows slink as they lurk nearby<br />
    And the pack must fight growling back to back<br />
    All the forest flees from the loyal pack<br />
    <br />
    In the injured times when the blood reigns thick<br />
    And there's wounded kin the pack moves in quick<br />
    And the cure and care is on each sharp mind<br />
    All the forest knows the pack can be kind<br />
    <br />
    In the goddess times when the moon reigns full<br />
    And the pack starts up as they feel the pull<br />
    And the pack is one where their souls abide<br />
    All the forest knows I am by their side<br />

    Yellow Eyes <br />
    <br />
    We've roamed the wild country<br />
    My beautiful yellow eyes,<br />
    Side by side we've hunted<br />
    Shadows dancing on northern skies. <br />
    <br />
    There have been times of plenty<br />
    We were content and serene,<br />
    Peacefully sleeping<br />
    Dangers few and far between. <br />
    <br />
    We've also known much hunger<br />
    Ribs protruding from each side,<br />
    Mournfully we howled<br />
    When our starving cubs had died. <br />
    <br />
    And then there was our first winter<br />
    Romping thru the glistening snow,<br />
    Tasting each crystal snowflake<br />
    Falling gently to and fro. <br />
    <br />
    Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes<br />
    I've known no greater love,<br />
    Without you, I am nothing<br />
    Our wild souls are one. <br />
    <br />
    And now you lay there dying<br />
    Steel jaws upon your frame,<br />
    Life's blood slowly seeping<br />
    I whimper your sweet name. <br />
    <br />
    Helpless, I watch you struggle<br />
    Chest heaving with labored breath,<br />
    Steel jaws clenching tighter<br />
    Winds whisper the song of death. <br />
    <br />
    The blood has now stopped flowing<br />
    I know the time is near,<br />
    And you will forever leave me<br />
    My love, my life, my dear. <br />
    <br />
    And now my world is silent<br />
    Your struggles now have ceased,<br />
    I lay my head upon you<br />
    And know you are at peace. <br />
    <br />
    Perhaps your soul has lifted<br />
    To skies where eagles soar,<br />
    And there you'll greet your brothers<br />
    To run with them forever more. <br />
    <br />
    And someday I shall find you<br />
    In the heaven's so far above,<br />
    And when our wild soul's unite<br />
    There'll be no greater love. <br />

    Silent Paws <br />
    <br />
    Silent paws trotting<br />
    on a well beaten trail,<br />
    alone in the wilderness,<br />
    so young and so frail. <br />
    <br />
    Little yips go unanswered,<br />
    the moon is now his guide,<br />
    looking for ones just like him,<br />
    or have all of them just died? <br />
    <br />
    He sniffs the dampened ground<br />
    and senses man everywhere,<br />
    the silence is deafening<br />
    no howls in the air. <br />
    <br />
    Oh why did he venture<br />
    so far from his den,<br />
    while his pack fell silent<br />
    at the hands of men? <br />
    <br />
    His stomach is growling<br />
    but the hunger he’ll endure,<br />
    his pack family is out there<br />
    it’s their blood he smells for sure. <br />
    <br />
    He stops in his tracks<br />
    and raises his head up high,<br />
    the terror overwhelms him<br />
    as he lets out another cry. <br />
    <br />
    But still there’s no answer<br />
    he can’t understand why,<br />
    he’ll follow their trail<br />
    or he surely will die. <br />
    <br />
    For days now he’s traveled<br />
    his spirit and body gone weak,<br />
    he lies down in white clover<br />
    no more energy left to speak. <br />
    <br />
    Soon the soul hovers <br />
    over this tiny, frail pup,<br />
    whose future now will be guarded<br />
    as his soul travels up. <br />
    <br />
    What right does man have<br />
    to take life from a living thing,<br />
    that has no way to voice its defense<br />
    against a human being? <br />
    <br />
    The wolf is a symbol,<br />
    a brother, a friend.<br />
    it’s time now for action<br />
    before his existence comes to an end.<br />

    The Wolf<br />
    <br />
    When the pale moon hides and the wild wind wails,<br />
    And over the treetops the nighthawk sails,<br />
    The gray wolf sits on the world's far rim<br />
    And howls: and it seems to comfort him.<br />
    <br />
    The wolf is a lonely soul, you see,<br />
    No beast in the wood, nor bird in the tree,<br />
    But shuns his path; in the windy gloom<br />
    They give him plenty, and plenty of room.<br />
    <br />
    So he sits with his long, lean face to the sky<br />
    Watching the ragged clouds go by.<br />
    There in the night, alone, apart,<br />
    Singing the song of his lone, wild heart.<br />
    <br />
    Far away, on the world's dark rim <br />
    He howls, and it seems to comfort him<br />
