I once wore skin like warriors do,
A man of blade, of blood, of pride.
But pride turned sour, and wrath I knew,
Till wolf became the shape I hide.

My Morrigan, lost in fur and bone,
Her eyes still see the stars I swore.
We haunt the edge, we roam alone,
Two cursed hearts that hunt no more.

But when the babe was cast to pine,
Alone beneath the howling wind,
I made an oath this soul is mine.
I’ll guard him where no love has been.

Let fire fall, let time undo,
Let gods forget the names they gave.
So long as breath remains in you,
I am the shadow that will not cave.
