Wolves

(album: They Said A Storm Was Coming - 2010)

Oh how I've wronged you, my love
It's come to another night
Filled with cold sweats
Lucid dreams in restless sleep
And, woe is me! Woe is me
For I've defanged the only wolves
That were ever on my side
I hear her voice saying leave it behind

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams that were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only as flat as we've made it out to be
And when the day breaks the sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies that become us
There is nothing I need more

Take aside. Tear apart
Conglomerate. Make new
Take aside. Tear apart
Conglomerate. Make new

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams that were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only as flat as we've made it out to be
And when the day breaks the sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies that become us
There is nothing I need more

What is a wolf truly worth without its fangs
Who's hunted down by children with sticks and crooked blades
And turned into a story and a token for the few
That it slayed before it lost the only weapons that it knew?

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams that were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only as flat as we've made it out to be
And when the day breaks the sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies that become us
There is nothing I need more

Oh how I've wronged you, my love
It's come to another night
Filled with cold sweats
Lucid dreams in restless sleep
