Lyrics I Am the Wolf - Mark Lanegan

I'm the wolf
Without a pack
Banished so long ago
I've survived on anothers kill
And on my shadow home
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

I'm the wolf
Calming the beast
To hungry to shy away
The carcass of leviathan
Sways gently on the waves
I hope this shelter is enough to keep warm
Up stairs the heavens giving birth to a winter storm
But I've been dying since the day I was born
That much I know is true

I'm the wolf
Out wild and free
A picture on the shelf
I burn this house down to the ashes
Lying to myself
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

I'm the wolf
I'm the wolf
I'm the wolf
