[Laika]: 661.Contest Entries.Concerti.June 07 - Carnivores

1st movement - Zodiac

come on, ask me
where I've been

I'll tell you stories
about mountains
and mountain lions
and lion hearted men
the fire that burns them
alive; come on, let me
teach you how every deed
has to be paid for, in time
that you'll never see come
back against the night
sky that is filled with shooting
stars, the constellations drift
across the black waters


2nd movement - The Asp

I seek solace in your dark
eyes that linger on my skin
I enjoy the moment when I
know: if you wanted to strike
I'd stand no chance

and the insecurity is the best part
the split second I see the coldness
slide through your eyes
and feel the flicker of your tongue


3rd movement - Beasts

we are nocturnal animals
night is our time to feast
beasts, set free from their cages

my nails scratch on your skin
your teeth want to tear my flesh
this is our jungle and we write our own laws
with blood, on the walls
