"Lamb Eats Wolf" lyrics

"Lamb Eats Wolf"

He'll fell the oldest tree down
Once it fails to bear him fruit
Why should he practice patience
When his men were taught to loot?
He does not feel the poison
Seeping from the punctured root
He does not see the hemlock flower
Bent under his boot

He'll drain the sacred lake out
If it does not yield a catch
Why should he practice prudence
He was brought up to be brash
He does not see the molar
Hidden deep under the ash
He does not hear the wind and run
To check he's closed the latch

Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat
Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat
Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat
Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat
Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat
Ovis amica magnum lupum devorat

He'll wage another war
If he doesn't get his way
Why should he book a room
If he can take me on the hay?
He does not seem to read my teeth
As anything but play
The only peace I hope to find
I'll get when I am grey
