Summary[]
You think you know us, but you do not.
You think you are like we are, but you are not.
We are like no other. We are the Red Talons.
You try to behave like us, but you cannot.
You try to keep pace with us, but you fall behind.
We run the long run. We are the Red Talons.
You try to match our purity, but you are tainted.
You try to catch our eye, but our eye is fixed on our prey.
We are relentless. We are the Red Talons.
You plan and scheme, change and grow.
You fight together and speak like humans.
You multiply and are many.
We are stone, we stay the same.
We speak seldom and make no promises, save one.
We are few. We are the Red Talons.
