"The Dog & The Wolf" lyrics

Benny the Butcher, Bruiser Wolf & Harry Fraud Lyrics

"The Dog & The Wolf"

The dog and the wolf is an old story
One night a hungry wolf was on the hunt for something to eat
When met a well fed house dog
The dog was strong, but comfortable
Never missed a meal
The wolf was thin
Scarred by the wild
Always chasing his next meal

The dog offered the wolf food, shelter, and an easy life
If he left the woods and followed his example
The wolf saw how good life could be
He almost agreed to leave the woods and go with the dog
Until the wolf noticed the hair on the dog's neck was worn and its skin scarred and chafed
A leash

And in that moment, the wolf understood
The cost of a full stomach can be your freedom
A comfortable life can come with invisible bars
So the wolf turned back toward the darkness
Toward the struggle
Toward the hunger
Toward the unknown

Because some souls would rather starve free
Than feast in captivity
