Bad Wolf

note: a 2 voice song

Teller:
Once upon a moonless night
a hooded figure came to sight
crimson cloth and shine of silver
a vengeance angel, came to deliver

Wolf:
tracks of blood and smell of fear
the monster took what he held dear
smell of children, and I heard my name
repeated twice, and the wolf did came

teller:
a little dress of woven red
still lies upon her bed
fear of strangers, fear of wolves
one step closer the hunter moves

Wolf:
they never did believe again
the cries of helpless men
I had my dinner on a silver platter
a girl or boy, it doesn't matter

teller:
inside his cave, upon the walls
fur and teeth and helpless calls
the hunter came and saw the truth
men do have the sharpest tooth

Wolf:
I killed again a man in red
and on his dead body I did fed
little red and big red too
I am a wolf and so are you

Teller:
and so our tale ends right here
where wolves seem to tread near
remember till the day you die
the monster is within you and I.

I love this poem, my favorite stanza is:
"inside his cave, upon the walls
fur and teeth and helpless calls
the hunter came and saw the truth
men do have the sharpest tooth"

Something about that stanza flows, and sends a shiver down my spine - brilliantly written, keep up the good work.
