The Lone Wolf

Song number one of The Traveller Among The Lost (see previous entry for an explanation) is The Lone Wolf. It's basically just a short introductory piece to the story, setting the scene and introducing a couple of the 'characters'. It's probably piano driven. The idea is that it starts off pretty low key, starts building up on the line "I am running wild", building to a musical crescendo for the line "I begin the chase", before dropping back to the lower register for the end.

Comments welcome

The Lone Wolf - August - November 2006

I cannot let this happen
So soon after the end
The eagle of the south
The wolf of the north
It won't begin like this again

I have been a caged pet
But now I've been led astray
I am running wild
And free now
Hunting for my prey
The bloodscent hits my tastebuds
The victim can't be far away
And when it starts to run
For its life
I begin the chase

But it escapes ...

And though I want to believe next time may be different
My instincts tell me that's the way it will always be
They say "Man, you know that what you are is a lone wolf"
And I guess maybe that's just what's right for me
