"Walk This Earth Alone"

A villain theme commission for a werewolf author, 

this came right at the time I was thinking of exploring ethnic compositions. 

There are patterns that successful pop songs follow, 

but because this is a tribal piece, I broke from conventions 

and finished the song with a soft bridge leading into a louder, alternate finale. 

"Walk This Earth Alone"

I'll fulfill all your prophecies

Wrote them all in blood

I'll haunt you as much as you expect

Wrath comes with a flood

Everyone thinks themselves heroes

In the books they write

What divides a man and immortal

Is his will to fight

Don't defy the deity inside your skin

Against man the powerful will always win

When you're young you burn with fire

Nothing spills your blood

But those of us with more desire

Cross the line of "should"

Think outside the box a moment

Think above the ground

I've betrayed too many chances

To turn around now

Don't defy the deity inside your skin

Against man the powerful will always win

There might have been

A window of

Little summer's light once for me

But now it's rain

And hail regret

Everywhere my eyes can see

Now that I'm gone

It's all wrong

Oh, the light

Stole my song

I can never return

Always winter
