Howl

(album: The Score - 2022)

Howl for my homeland, wherever that was
And howl for the homage that's been gone and lost

To the passing and temporal, the eons gone by
There's nothing to praise, not in earth, sea or sky
All was holy has been shot, and in time to know
The rest will soon follow, all the rest will soon go

Stay in the light, Joe, stay with yourself
Put up a fight, don't rest on the shelf

Growl at the pedestal, growl at the pinch
The last of the ports has broken the winch

Oh, the legacy is gone, and the people who knew
Have lost their minds or left, there's a few
Who are choking on what and the will to hold on
With their principles pinned to the courts of above

Stay in the light, Joe, stay with yourself
Put up a fight, don't rest on the shelf

Me and the teardrop, me and the mountain
Oh, me and the check and to meet my accountant

Oh, me and the wolf who was eating my heart
And me and my friends, who laugh in the dark
Oh, and you and yours too, and you and yours three
And you and yours ever and ever be free

Stay in the light Joe, stay with yourself
Put up a fight, don't rest on the shelf
