I Am the Wolf

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am the wolf without a pack Banished so long ago I've survived on another's kill And on my shadow home [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] I am the wolf combing the beach Too hungry to shy away The carcass of a leviathan Sways gently on the waves [Refrain] I hope this shelter is enough to keep me warm Upstairs the heavens giving birth to winter's storm But I've been dying since the day I was born That much I know is true [Verse 3] I am the wolf, high, wild and free Picture on a shelf I burn this house down to the ashes A law unto myself [Refrain] 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 [Outro] I am the wolf I am the wolf I am the wolf
