lyrics

Grey Wolf, Hunted

Grey wolf hunted
Wanted
To come in from the cold
Phantom trace the signal
Back to headquarters

Gray wolf wobbles in the middle lane
Broken signal can't make it through
I can't make it out
Though I'm straining
The illusion I'm maintaining
Is draining me

Phantom Trace the signal
Phantom Track the animal
Run wire to devices
Trap and trace
Redact, erase
Fox and hound and phantom
Ghosting

Onomatopoeia
Jargon and code
SIGINT says The Grey Wolf
Can come in from the cold
Lost amid the chatter
Trying to find the zone
Does it really matter
If Phantom comes home?

We're just floating in the aether
Some random numbers station

Searching for a true believer
In snippets of conversations

Double agent
Triple crossed
Snowed in
Teeth rattling
Jack Frost

Triple agent
Deeply enmeshed
Embedded, unknowable
Jimmy Best

Grey Wolf wanders the prism
Long coat, high boots and collar, hat
Trees unstrung, thoughts unmoored
No stalking, no skulking
Just aimless
Endless empty handedness

Grey Wolf
Cane and cape
Struck down SIGINT and Intercept
Hunter and predator equally
Dumbfounded
With Palandir's trove underneath my coat
I was pursued across the steppes
