[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Paradise is lost -
- DESTROYED by our own hands,
- torn apart by out own fangs and claws.
- For that, we are FORSAKEN.
- Now we STALK among the human herds,
- wearing their sheep's clothing,
- our senses drawing us to our PREY.
- Our own kin are set against us,
- and things from the earth's shadow follow in our wake.
- Our BLOOD pounds with RAGE as the moon swells.
- You who would HUNT us, be warned -
- for we will turn the hunt against you
- and you will find you are not our hunter,
- but our PREY.
