Christianity’s cross

Don’t apply to us

The man nailed to it

Don’t apply to us

Islam’s star and moon

Don’t apply to us

The prophet Muhammhad

Don’t apply to us

We seek no god

We seek no demon

We seek no holy man

We seek a more animal power

I was blessed by the lycanthrope’s lunge

I was blessed by razor-sharp teeth

I was blessed with keen hearing and smell

New double nature gestates underneath

Step to me and accept my call

Step to me and take my bite

Step to me and feel the change

Observe the glorious full moon’s rise

Together we can fortify our faith

Together we can amplify our revolt

Together we can let our inner wolves out

Multiply our pack, our cult

We shall roam past the barren trees

We shall roam into the towns

We shall roam into the roadways

And tear perverted humanity down

We are the Wolfclaw—Children of the night

We are the Wolfclaw—We eviscerate

We are the Wolfclaw—Nature’s order restored

Land in our canine image—made great—
