Campers gather ‘round the fire’s light
Comforted by the protection it brings
From the dark abyss of the forest’s night
Where hide ravenous wild animals
And the ghosts of their scary stories
When, in the distance, they hear
The howling of a lone wolf’s cry
Frightening them back into their tents
If only they knew the broken heart
Crouching behind that beastly façade
Calling out for his pack to come back
And forgive his transgression
So he may be whole once more
