Aephanemer - Path of the Wolf Lyrics

Beware a deal that is meant to be fair 
Among the crowd at the feast 
Where the prey is pleased to share 
The same bench as the savage beast 

Fed with the need to win the race 
While remaining at a proper place 
Until being struck by the late hour 
As we shudder at the taste turning sour 

We live as if time wasn't going by 
Polite guests, not even scared to die 
Forgetting to get back on the road 
To leave behind all the truths we believed to hold 

Settle for the chill of the forest stream 
To quench your thirst, and go forward 
Lightened by the faint undergrowth gleam 
Rather than the dull shine of rewards 

Leave a sheltered easy life 
To adventure into the wild 
We might fail taking to the woods 
But can't be bound by shallow goods 

One is wise to go his own way 
Never mind if you're starting late 
Wolves run wherever they like 

We may not arrive in due time 
This bright point, keep it in your eye 
We must stay on course 

Fellows who lingered feel now dismayed 
By quite a cruel truth to learn 
For any feast, the cost to be paid 
Is an amount of life in return
