Okami - A Scent Like Wolves

I keep the pace and traverse down this weathered road

To find some closure from the place that I called home

Jagged stones, stagnant water

Sleepless nights, is it over?

Yet, these past few weeks I’ve got to thinking

Will I ever resonate with the land I’m bound to be in?

No one can startle me

I am the strongest breed

If you take away what means most to me

My jaws of life will bite ferociously

Step back, the cliff is far too close now

Unless I leap with every bone

To find the aspiration that every day is not a clone

I keep the pace and traverse down this same old road

To find some closure from the place that you called home

I won’t die here

Is this my final stop?

Staring at a dimly lit door

Barron trees calmly swaying in the midnight snow

The air fills my lungs

With a chilled, northern cold

I am, and all I will be

It’s staring back within, it’s right in front of me

I won’t fall, through it all

I will vow, hear me now

This is who I am

I won’t let the world break me down

Is this my final stop?

Staring at a dimly lit door

Barron trees calmly swaying in the midnight snow

The air fills my lungs

With a chilled, northern cold

The breeze lifts my spirit

I am home

I now know my purpose

To judge those who are worth it

I now know my purpose

To maul those who deserve it
