Part 2

In my mind I can justify

The killing of a man in a battle

But not the death of one in a struggle

Is it "kill or get killed"?

The wolves are my tormentors and I am being tormented

There are seven wolves that keep me:

Fear, doubt, greed, hate, love, hope and jealousy

The wolves, they start to howl

And in amongst their growls

I hear words

Prowling, in their packs

Doubt prowls forward, leering...

"Do you feel like a hero?"

Doubt's shadow flickers

"Well do you? Is it really worth killing?

Are you having second thoughts?"

Out of the forest shrubbery

Greed licks his muzzle

"Why do you help them?

They haven't done anything for you.

What will they give you for your selflessness?

Money? Will they make you their King?"

Jealousy comes out of the shadows

"No, they won't make you their king

They'll make your brother king

You never will be as great as him

And she will never love you

Like she loved him"
