LYRICS
Yeah, man
Live among the starving wolves
Get lost inside the pack
Pull at a carcass 'til 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 will 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
I have no intro for this song
I'm just gonna play a tune
That was, well, I do, why not? Yeah
Uh, this is a song that was heavily requested
Uh, thank you very much, uh, I was really, uh
A song to go on time to write, it was on Olly Charles deck
It's called "Never Quite Free"

Amazing how transformative an urgent driving drumbeat can be for a song.

This is my favorite song from that album. I wish the piano was a little stronger in this mix, but still, awesome.
