[Verse 1]

Geology is digging through my brain

A manta engulfing the world

To throw it up once again

To a guild of lifted daggers


[Chorus]

Neo-wolf, but older again

Than the Lupus itself

Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time

A collection of failures


[Verse 2]

A diabolical sequence of stabs

Written in cutting stone

From the fossilized den of thieves

Our lives die


[Chorus]

Neo-wolf, but older again

Than the Lupus itself

Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time

A collection of failures


[Bridge]

I see the nursing all mother

Spitting out a trail of termites

In the mouth of her first born hope

With smog-filled rebellion


[Verse 3]

Apathy dressed in violence

White, insectoid legs

Curse her lips and her mouth receptive

Only to pain


[Chorus]

Neo-wolf, but older again

Than the Lupus itself

Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time

A collection of failures
