Lyrics[]
Live among the starveling 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.
