The lyrics featured are rearrangements of two poems by M. Whyte (yours truly) that, mostly, explore the cynic 'truths' about heroism. And some winks (as the cover art reveals) to Æsop's fable "The Dog & Its Reflection".
There goes the comeback of Sølvgråbein after years of cryogenic sleep.

The Pathfinder:
We crossed paths my dear Me;
A squealing weasel and a burned dog;
I protected you, fighting for me
And I dragged your damaged existence
With strict hate,
A relentless steam.
But you kept pace for love, for dread,
That killing machine.
You couldn't stop, poor battered me,
You wanted blood, and I drained it all,
All over you.
Selfless, selfish,
Existence, vengeance...
I wanted to be, you wanted more
So you killed me
And us both.
Now the path flows
But not for me.
But you, you Me, you keep tracking,
Keep pace,
You kill, you kill!
Who can blame you?
For now you be,
But not for being,
That other,
Was me.
Ulvehund:
Oh! Children of a Summer past,
While I run, spin and turn
I do not spare my Watchful Eye.
My Children of a Summer past!
The fear in modesty is covered!
The fear in modesty is covered!
I am the forgotten fossil,
The foul breath of Truth.
Seven times seven tentacles
Behind the shade of the Just.
Because I AM eternal
And I have been before being.
I AM memory and I AM projection,
I am He who clouds the silver lining.
Oh! Children of a Summer past,
While I run, spin and turn
I do not spare my Watchful Eye.
My Children of a Summer past,
The fear in modesty is covered.
The fear in modesty is covered.
I am not the Wolf
That dies behind every stride to it's Prey.
I am not the Lamb
That flees to it's unavoidable end
And surrenders, meek, it's neck.
Nay!
Sometimes I am the Raven that devours it's remains,
Sometimes I am the Hound that protects the herd,
The dog that hunts wolves
But at the end of the journey —howls
About a lamb's leg.
