The Mammoth

As a creature of extinction

It had walked the earth

Trembling the weak with its careless steps

Sharpened its tusks

Gathered his flock, skinless were led into winter

Only the mammoth survived the biting cold

Alone it reigned, trampling their bones

Unmindful on an empty windswept ground

It monstrously came marching down

To find new marionettes

Something to sacrifice.

But there, up on its back was a blind passenger

With rage it pulled its forefeet up towards the blizzard sky

Berserk, it dragged its head from side to side

Yet its unknown rider managed to hang on

For a moment tamed this monster

With growls of insanity it kicked and pounded the ground down

Forming craters of anger

Still, its unknown rider managed to hang on

For a moment tamed this monster

Powerless, all it could do was obey

But its passenger was bewildered

About which way would lead to her safety

And which way with life she would pay

The beast turned and mounted the top

Towards its survival and her frostbitten death

The inevitable cold

Her whitening face

Inescapably destined

To kill the lives it led

Massive, it controlled them

Their addiction, on which it fed

They failed to see that

Its conviction was of no mercy, of no good deeds

All beings were its enemies

Could not waste its life on them

Was frightened when this one nearly steered its course

Knew not yet its course would come to an end

Knew not yet its course would come to an end

Knew not yet its course would come to an end

Knew not yet its course would come to an end

Knew not yet its course would come to an end

The mammoth laid her down

Its rider, its last victim

Fear now lit up in its eyes

Had killed the Innocence
