The Wolf King

from Rubedo by Don Paris Schlotman

/

lyrics

Thank you, kind sir for your grand noblesse
Extended hands can hide the sharpest claws
Your true identity one can only guess
As another victim falls

I truly cannot feign surprise
As it’s plain to see the wolf in your eyes
But seeing does not immunity give
From the cause of my demise

It must be a handsome gift
To have a soul so coarse
Without regard for life or limb
Except for your own of course

Oh my dear King of Wolves, you have my blessing
For the bountiful feast you are about to receive
Congratulations and help yourself to everything
Cause it’s far too late to grieve

Bar the door, change the locks
Reset the password, arm the stocks
But the strongest bolt does not protection give
From the tongue which daily mocks

One can argue if the clothes in fact make the man
But the wolf is defined by fur and tooth
I tip my hat at your legerdemain
But fear I’ve bared my neck for truth
I always bare my neck for truth

Thank you, kind sir for your grand noblesse
Extended hands can hide the sharpest claws
The depth of your humanity one can only guess
As another victim falls
