The Banner - Wolves Blood lyrics

Lupus Cruor hardens the veins a thousand knives have failed to slay. To the best the boys betrayed as the howling stalk the falling day. To seven serpents I am chained, dragged behind my souls decay. All empathy it slips away as the Wolvesblood calls and has its way. I warn you the battle is over, the heart that you seek is no more. No love, no hope of curing what I have embraced with open arms. Now I seek no shelter nor the warmth of home. I have shed all human failings And made a kingdom in the cold. Countless days in numbing cold until painless hours steeled my soul. Awash in flesh and greed I bowed, And stood anew with iron bones. Your arms that take, invertebrate. The venom k**ed all hope for me. You only hurt the ones you love so I'll take my heart and rip it out.
