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.)
