=== Fear Of The Wolf ===
Inconquerable fear
We burn inside our decieved senses
We slew our own brotheren
For the voices whispering in our minds
We breathed life to the wolf
Said to be prowling in our gardens
The voices reminded us
Of its sudden reality
And so we unlocked the path of liberty
With the key the voices gifted us
Our freedom ran as wild
As our imaginations
We were forced to leave our comfort
Delving into the neverending forest
We listened on petrified
As a fearful howling ensued
Our paced quickened,
Like our nervous heartbeats
We ran like an autumn wind
Brisk, panicked
Rushing our lifespan
Until the year drew to a close
Yet we struggled on for the light ahead
It's white absolution
Tasting our weakened flesh
We believed we had found our peace
A little taste of heaven
And so the darkness enslaved us
An invisible fear savaging us
Light dissolving into nothing
The voices laughed inside our heads
Capitalising off our foolishness
Our belief of the fifth column
Our fear of the wolf
We are all slaves now
Working day in and out
Trapped in a mine of self pity
Harvesting our own sorrow
The voices never stopped laughing
A hidous cackle reminding us
Of how we had and lost everything
Our lives... fade to darkness
