LANEGAN, Mark

I am the Wolf.

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
