Unleashed

We are caged animals
We are caged animals
Ears flat, lip curled back
A blind attack waiting to happen

We are savage nemeses
We are holy warriors
Red-eyed, throat clutched tight
A ringside cheer in a dirty fight

We are brazen animals

We enrage our enemies
With rousing elegies
Forthright, head held high
Shining knight in a losing battle

We are noble meddlers
We are gory foreigners
Newborn, careworn
Shorthorns in uniform

We are a fearsome pedigree

(And now we have a reason to howl, bound together, muzzle to jowl
Blood is thicker than desire, and the tide is rising.)
