That stallion once found safety in power
But time has dwindled away his stature.
He stands feared and respected,
Yet scared and conflicted.
That wire, that muscle shredding wire
Creates this impermeable trap
To stray too far or remain unscathed.
Retreating from the violent wire,
He returns charging.

That stallion once found safety in power
But time has dwindled away his stature.
He stands feared and respected,
Yet scared and conflicted.
That wire, that muscle shredding wire
Creates this impermeable trap
To stray too far or remain unscathed.
Retreating from the violent wire,
He returns charging.
