Across the arctic floor,
It sprints with all its might,
It's little body blending in,
As it runs out of sight.
It's paws tread silently,
It doesn't make a sound,
It's instinct kicks in fast,
It doesn't want to be found.
Across the arctic floor,
The snow covers its tracks,
But the wolf has something,
That the rabbit has always lacked.
From the scent of its prey,
The wolf closes in,
Because in the wolf’s world,
Murder is not a sin.
