It is I who signed the contract, A pledge of service I ended my loyalty to my pack I traded my royal fur for a pelt of fleas and mange, Soaked with blood and ridden with scars. A once noble leader heeded to the feet of men My once padded paws were now too raw to scab over, My prideful fangs now chipped and cracked Tail between my legs My ribs showing their attachment My ears cut off To show a dog of war My head once held highest above them all Now hung low in defeat I had to watch cautiously, They could lash out at anytime Raking their daggers in my side I was once a proud wolf But I vowed my favor Not knowing my eyes Would lose their gold And my soul Itβs value That of royalty Now bowed To mortals My pride and pity Was my **Downfall
