    Story Behind the Song
    This song is based on a Wolverine story. Two seperate but related stories to be exact. The beginning of the song refers to the events in the "Kitty Pryde & Wolverine" limited series #'s 1-6, while the end is taken from "Wolverine" #89.

    It was recorded in one night at my apartment in Everett. In fact it was recorded in the few hours that my roomate was away. The vocals are done in one take, which should be fairly obvious, the bass was the only part that took a few tries, which gives the song a very "Lo-Fi" sound. In english that means crappy, but I like it anyway.

    Lyrics
    Reach across the ocean
    Catch my little Kitty
    Found some Pryde in that
    Starting to erase
    Trying to deface her
    And send her clawing back
    Caught up with you there
    Cut off all her hair
    Sent her after me
    But you never really knew her
    I stabbed you right through her
    And crushed the mask over your dead body

    But Ogun's Mask is still intact

    Sittin' on a Harley
    Heading for Westchester
    Skirtin' the Manhattan line
    Riding next to me
    A living biker tatoo
    Yeah he's a friend of mine
    "A spectre from your past,"
    He says in cryptic fashion,
    "Sheds innocent blood this night."
    I refuse to play this game
    Until he says the name
    And I peel to the right.

    Ogun's Mask is still intact

    But the beast ain't winnin' this time
    You've trained me too well
    I'm walkin' the swords edge now
    I'm splittin' the difference
    and cracking it down your skull

    Ogun's Mask is still intact
