Wolf Count by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

Live among the starveling wolves
Get lost inside the pack
Pull at a carcass till 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 home 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
