lyrics

Neath half-gray skies I saw bows of red
While I intended to leave, I took instead
And spiraling forth, the wolf and the man
Dance to the tune and dance again

And the wolf strikes back to befriend the blade
And watch grown men go cry the days
The band trades the cage in
Makes a run for the stage
There’ll be no melody
There will be no blame

Hold my hand and I’ll drag you through
This little war has killed us two
And what remains of our great debate
Necessary losses

Under cover of black, I spied on their camp
Saw no trust in the old
And no strength in their stance
I tried an honest approach
But there was no understanding
And threats were hurled right to my back

Hold my hand and I’ll drag you through
This little war has killed us two
And what remains of our great debate
Necessary losses

And we fight for the lost
Who we all grew up with
And the trees keep us warned
When something’s amiss
And while some of them know
They can’t always protect us
From unholy cages and the lighter poison kiss

So back again the circle goes
And we smile up to our friends
And year by year more and more we send
And dancing together
The wolf and the man
With a minor part in the cave maker’s plan

Hold my hand and I’ll drag you through
This little war has killed us two
And what remains of our great debate
Necessary losses, necessary losses
Hold my hand and I’ll drag you through
This little war has killed us two
And what remains of our great debate
Necessary losses
Necessary losses
