I am the wolf
Without a pack
Banished so long ago
I've survived
On another’s kill
And on my shadow home
All I've learned is that poison will sting
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings
No one remembers much of anything
That came this way before
I am the wolf
Combing the beach
Too hungry to shy away
The carcass of a leviathan
Sways gently on the waves
I hope this shelter is enough to keep me warm
Upstairs the heaven's giving birth to winter's storm
But I've been dying since the day I was born
That much I know is true
I am the wolf
High, wild and free
A picture on a shelf
I burn this house
Down to the ashes
A law unto myself
All I've learned is that poison will sting
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings
No one remembers much of anything
That came this way before
That came this way before
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
