lyrics

Look at you in
sheep’s clothing
Brother Wolf said
to Saint Francis

I have known you
through the ages
by your hooks and
by your lances

You’re a wolf as
sure as I am
though you've lately
learned to mask it

But this Christ blood
smells familiar
so I'll follow
if you ask it

This is not my
First Communion
troth of old I
still remember

Ygg the Wolf Foe
called us to him
one eye blazing
like an ember

Hanging howling
corpse of kingship
battle slain from
striving selfward

Covenant we
made in wolf-tongue
High and Just-AsHigh
and Third

Antimony
antecedent
foresight forewarned
Fenris’ vengeance

Lapping gore from
blood-twig show’ring
rubedo of
mad transcendence

Sköll and Hati
stretched their jaws as
man and wolf walked
through old Gubbio

Doors and windows
slammed and shuttered
fearful of the
saint with beast in tow

Congregation
all recoiled
gasps of terror
filled the aisle

From the narthex
to the altar
strode the wolf with
gaping smile

Oftentimes had
Francis warned them
faithless eyes will
never see

But greedy wolves
know blood from wine
and gorge themselves
on royalty

Outside there was
frost a-falling
wild kindred’s
mournful calling
in deep places
dwarves were crawling
but their hammers
had stopped falling

Álfar in the
stones drew inward
quiet fell in
field and vineyard
wights upon
the stoop and cinders
harkened echoes
in the timbers
