In this episode of Wolves and Dragons, Fenrir takes Brooke Fraser’s haunting song “Flags” and lays it beside three brutal storytellers: Attack on Titan, Genesis 6 and the Book of Ecclesiastes.

We sit with Fraser’s repeated confession — “I don’t know why the innocents fall while the monsters still stand” — and trace it through the Rumbling, the flood, and the Teacher’s observation that “time and chance happen to them all.” Instead of forcing neat theological answers, the episode lingers in the tension: good people die, the wicked prosper, and our lives whip about like flags in a storm of history, trauma and systems bigger than any one of us.

Fenrir explores complicity (“we’re all to blame”), apathy acting as an ally, and the way Attack on Titan mirrors our own world’s cycles of inherited violence and half-buried guilt. And yet, right in the middle of all the honesty and bewilderment, “Flags” quietly dares to assert: “You who mourn will be comforted… the last shall be first.”

This episode is not an answer, but a listening ear and an open-handed exploration of what kind of hope can survive once we stop lying about how broken things really are.
