this was going to be the closing track and was supposed to be combined with drone but I chickened out and never got around to finishing it. The drums are all sorts of screwed up but I think it adds something frantic. A few months ago I finished the vocals with Mat and added some recordings from Dick Proenneke's "Alone in the Wilderness"
lyrics
(Narrarator)
blowing, howling, screaming
pounding at your door
you gave your life to it
but it's back and it wants more
slithering through your veins
with spite in it's eyes
kicking down your crumbling walls
and feisting on your cries
you scream, "help me help me help me"
oh, I see the light
(Protagonist)
do you hear it's breath?
is it getting closer?
I can feel it all around
(Black Wolf)
I tracked your path
I followed your scent
I wandered in your wake
the old trails that I used to take
you thought id lost the taste, no
innocent cried the poppy seed
stuck in your teeth
now i've found the easy way
now i've found relief
(Harbinger of Death)
look into me
eyes and legs and teeth
graze over me
lift up then sing
"sink"
and that is why
it calls your name
we'll let it try
another game plan
around the bend
leave a mark on the floor
we're calling him
we're calling for him
the black wolf
the black wolf
