I am the wolf, without a pack Banished so long ago I've survived on another skill And on my shadow on All I've learned is that poison stings No one remembers the names of martyrs and kings No one remembers much of anything It came this way before I am the wolf, calming the beast Till I'm great to shag away The carcass of Leviathan sweeps gently on the waves I hope this shelter is enough to keep you warm Upstairs the heaven's giving birth to winter storm But I haven't died since the day I was born Not much I know it's true I am the wolf, out wild and free Picture on the shelf I'll burn this house down to the ashes Long to myself All I've learned is that poison stings No one remembers the names of martyrs and kings No one remembers much of anything It came this way before It came this way before I am the wolf I am the wolf I am the wolf
