The Wolves Den

(Silence, followed by a haunting howl)

Foot prints in the concrete dust

Names carved in the rusted rail

Same old smoke, same old sky

We don't break, we don't cave

Old scars under fresh tattoos

Frosty gaze, fire in our veins

They talk brave

We just stare till the noise plays dead

Welcome to the wolf's den

Bared teeth, eyes unblinking

Stand your ground, say it once

Then let your silence talk

This is the line we drew

Stone and bone and breathe

You want a crown, walk through

Our ground, our rules, our nest

Lean back on a busted fence

Wind howls, we don't flinch

Fists clenched, pulse unbroken

One stride, they all inch

We don't chase every cheap insult

Dust settles, we stay still

But cross that chain-link heart of ours

You'll taste quiet, iron will

Welcome to the wolf's den

Bared teeth, eyes unblinking

Stand your ground, say it once

Then let your silence talk

This is the line we drew

Stone and bone and breathe

You want a crown, walk through

Our ground, our rules, our nest

We don't bow, we don't break

We just stare down the darkness

Let the loud ones fade to black

Till the brave feel the cold

Welcome to the wolf's den

Bared teeth, eyes unblinking

Stand your ground, say it once

Then let your silence talk

This is the line we drew

Stone and bone and breathe

You want a crown, walk through

Our ground, our blood, our den
