"Wolf Count" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

Live among the starvling 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
