Cast Iron Wolf

Cast Iron Wolf

Out of the darkness, comes the iron man running

into the light, the thunder of his passing shaking

the ground.

Did I only dream of the glint of menace in the glare

of his eye shields, was it only my imagination

that made it seem so real?

I run with wolves amidst the ruins of the only world

that I have even known, we are shadows racing 

towards the violence of the sound

Did I witness the path on which my life is heading,

nowhere to turn, ever the straight path forever

at the pace of the men of steel.

I find no mercy in this the race with no end in sight.

Is this my last chance to don the armor or to stand

in the sun under the stars in the night?

We raise our weapons under the brilliance of this

our final dance into the clouds into the sky

We raise our voices to shout with contempt and joy

for justice and honor making it our battle cry

Hear our howls as we charge into the melee of the 

fight, will we win this day for all that we hold true

or die in our ambition to be among the right?

I am only one man in this skin that shields my

intent, the goals of my youth unwritten unspent

for there is much that I still want to believe, to 

accept that I can want to feel...

Meanwhile I will keep on running to maintain 

this requirement to hold to this pace

until I come to meet with my destiny face to face.
