will you remember me
in your deepest heart
sing for me...
when the moon is full
over frozen tundra our family would hunt
forever running and playing together
loyal to each other
now so few left of the multitude
the pups...who will bring them up?
those who survive harshest winter
will they fall prey to merciless humans....?
why must it be this way...i cannot understand
but in the realms of heaven i roam far...
and see from above
a picture of humanity stains the earth
wolves not the lone victims of their wrath
my soul bleeds for those who lose...
their lives each day and night
from those who walk on two legs  
some have no heart....
and a soul colder than icy snows
biting winds...
blow in those armed with guns
one day will awaken...
in a vision revealed
upon their knees i see them
those heartless humans
begging forgiveness...
from wolves
will we give it...can we...?
forgive... for precious lives so greedily taken
loved ones shown no mercy
at their command
torn to shreds from traps and guns
i howl for them...
i cry for them...
i plead... for them
my family who remain are shorn in two
one half on earth one half above
will we forgive those inhumane ones....?  
our souls are saved theirs are not
in heaven a wilderness is secured for us
humans one day must face their own conscience....
and that burns hotter than any fiery furnace
...in hell
