Mark Lanegan - I Am The Wolf (Live on KEXP)

                                                       

I am the wolf, without a pack

Banished so long ago

I've survived on another's kill

And on my shadow home

All I've learned is that poison will sting

No one remembers the names of martyrs and kings

No one remembers much of anything

It came this way before

I am the wolf, calming the beast

Too hungry to shy away

The carcass of Leviathan 

Sways gently on the waves

I hope this shelter is enough to keep me warm

Upstairs the heaven's giving birth to winter storm

But I've been dying since the day I was born

That much I know it's true

I am the wolf, high, wild and free

Picture on the shelf

I'll burn this house down to the ashes

A law unto myself

All I've learned is that poison will sting

No one remembers the names of martyrs and kings

No one remembers much of anything

It came this way before

It came this way before

I am the wolf

I am the wolf

I am the wolf
