We run,

heavy foot falls

marring the snow.

The scent of flowers is in the air.

Across a land grown cold,

a world lost and dead,

we continue on this never ending

road that is our destiny.

The leader lets lose a howl,

his tears lost on the wind.

We will not fail him,

will not leave him alone.

We fight by his side,

for it is our duty,

the promise we made

when we joined him on this path.

Our quick stride falters.

and we fall to our knees.

Bloody trails are left

and we strive to carry on.

But we will not make it,

cannot keep going

on this road we chose to follow.

One by one we fade,

disillusioned warriors

locked in an unending war.

Our eyes slide shut,

our heartbeats cease

and we will rise no more.

"We will meet again in

Paradise,"

Each of us does mutter.

But this time around we will not find it,

we will not see the light.

Go, strong wolf,

and leave us behind.

Because

Not all of us are destined

for Paradise.
