The Horizon will fold.
The sheep looked at a wolf so injured
Was scared for a bit but wasn’t triggered.
Dear Wolf, looks like your about done
Hope that you don’t feel so glum
The wolf looked at the sheep and said
Though you see me covered in red,
I am not yet done for there is still a destination to behold
and I am not done until the horizon folds
The sheep said
Just look ahead
The mountain looks high
The river looks wide
And the dessert looks dry
Everything makes you look like a fly
Look at me innocent sheep
Death to my soul he has tried to reap
Why I really do not know
But I do know that I can beat any foe
I only have one life
So, when death takes my soul it will not be with strife
It will have no regrets
It will have no shame
It will have no disgrace
It will have no goal that wasn’t accomplished
Go back to your master little sheep
For the price of this journey is not cheap
So, do as your told
For me the horizon will fold!
The wolf stands
And his wounds in which he has licked
And you decided to live comfortably
You won’t chase the horizon certainly
You just stay inside waiting for the storm to pass
That would be the thing I do last
People like me don’t just wait out the storm
We go in the night and become the storm
Dear wolf I don’t think there is no one like you
People so insane and foolish if only you knew
The wolf smiles and then says just listen
The wolf howls and lots of howls blissen
There are always those willing to go far
You just don’t see them often for they are stars
They just don’t rely on packs
But rather they only come out when they hear an Ajax
If you ever decided to turn that wool into fur
And that baa into a howl
Know whether you be friend or foe
Never surrender for you may never know
For the mountain always looks high from below
The river always looks strong as we think we know
The dessert always feels so hot as we are bestowed
And an injured wolf always feels most alive when he was almost dead!
But as long as the wolf is not torn to little bitsy shreds
The wolf will never stay down
For when all is said and done he will have the crown
The mountain will be tamed
The river will be shamed
The dessert will turn cold
And the horizon will fold!
Go inside little sheep for the battle has not been won
And this big bad wolf will have some fun
