Wolf in the Zoo

all i see is a rasterized chaos
a caged animal's world of fear
patchy colors, cold iron between us
and screams for no one to hear

i keep warm by the furnace of rage
so i don't die in my sleep
all i know is the walls of my cage
and a love i'll guard and keep

i heard a howl from far away
and even if i'm here to stay
i listen for your wild voice every day

Call for Sacrifice

tears have been spilled like rivers
yet the ground is still barren and dry
the rubble had eaten their betters
now they wonder why they cannot fly

the ground is thirsty for something thicker
that will nourish the deep roots again
it wants to taste life's sweetest liqueur
it waits to take in the blood of men

and when you have served the land
misery and drought will end
so cut your throat or take a stand

Bait

encrusted in white
lifeless, here i lie
come on, take a bite
from it, you will die
frozen poison flesh
under twisted trees
nourishing the dead
till the world will freeze
as it says on the can...
