Cannibal

When the king comes down to speak
The animals, animals
With this cloth howl for a feast
A cannibal, cannibal
When they crawl up to the break
It's being gray, well away
Pull and run, howl from underneath
This cannibal, cannibal
Who is gonna break the ice?
For the shadow's advice
Who will be the first to bite?
Until we keep our play nice
Until the next time
Hey, it's too late
I've been headed for a change
These layers fading
When the king bowed to our feet
A cannibal, a cannibal
Who is gonna break the ice?
For the shadow's advice
Who will be the first to bite?
Until we keep our play nice
Until the next time
