Текст песни Winter Wolf - Joshua James

Winter Wolf

A wolf stands in the doorway
I feel jealous of his mouth
His tall dark defiance
His hair like a gown
I comb my part forward
And I put on his robe
I ask for a mirror
«Look here» I moan
«I am fierce and defiant
I am wolf just like you»
«That's good for now» he bellows
And he exits the room
I follow to the forest
We hide in the grass
We feast on young rabbits
And I choke on the fat
«Please, give me some water»
The wolf starts to laugh
Smiling approving
He walks down the path
He reaches his paw out
And he widens his eyes
Swift as the winter
He wraps me in twine
He ties both my feet
Puts rope round my lungs
I thought I’d turned wolf
But truly I was wrong
He used up my kindness
He drained me of light
Like a fool I did follow
Like a fool I would die
I looked up and pleaded
But only with eyes
I thought I saw mercy
And felt I was right
«My pupil, now hear me»
The wolf softly spoke
You trust much your feelings
You re-read what you wrote
Now listen, young pupil
It’s simple you’ll see
To learn from your passings
But then leave them to be
Walk not in the same light
Grow wiser through days
Your past lives are death mines
Move onward, away
Walk not in the same light
Grow wiser through days
Your past lives are death mines
Move onward, away
