Wolf Count

Lyrics

Live among the starving wolves
Get lost inside the pack
Pull at a carcass til my tooth breaks
Your grown-up teeth --
They don't grow back,
They don't grow back.

Find a clearing in the forest
Wait for word from the battlefront
Sing to the moon until your throat's raw
The Lord of the manor --
He won't be coming back from the hunt,
He won't be coming back from the hunt.

Soon, it'll be my time to go,
I know.

Breach the perimeter with my brethren
Know who your friends are when you need them
Sleep soundly with the enemy
And remember me --
Too dumb to trade his cloak for freedom,
Too dumb to trade his cloak for freedom.
Run, run ahead, all of you --
I'll catch up when I'm able to.

Seek the manor grounds anew
Too dark to find the path
Sleep on the road and dream the only dream
Worth dreaming --
The thronging plain,
The bloodbath.

Soon, it'll be my time to go,
I know.

Banter
