Bewildered Wolves

By Melancholic VIncent

The night stands still
Emerged in darkness
In mystery is confined
And many stories has to be told

Wolves ritualize solemn tunes
Endlessly calling for yesterday
Mourning for those that are lost
Howling in solitude
Passionately for the moon

Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves

“Purity I see
As white as she
Ephemeral light I see
Bright it is
Brings peace
To the broken heart of me

Winds of empathy
Take this song up high for me”

Lords of eternal sorrow
Whisper melodies until morrow
Chants of sacred devotion
At the Lady of White they pledge

Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves

Forgotten in the wilderness
They yelped alone
Sought sympathy for the moon
Fought siamese twins in loon
But their prayers were unheard
But their love were unanswered

Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves
Wild moon and bewildered wolves

The Lady of White rests in its holy pedestal
Forever shedding light over the earth
In the cold nights of winter
Forever blinded in deep haze
In the cold nights of misery

    UNusual tale of the moon and the dogs of the night, who worship her perhaps in their lonliness. I could almost hear the howling, cheers!

    There's a recurring image of wolves howling at the moon. As if the moon was their goddess, also their untouchable lover, like a tragic love story. Thanks for the comments you have been doing.
