WOLF WITH A CROWN (SubtleNoise cover)

(Dedicated to THE FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATION ) [Verse 1] You dressed the hunger up as courage; | Called the bite something brave. | Gave the throne to gnashing teeth | And swore the flock would be saved. | You carved a crown from fury, | Said the fire was a guiding sign. | Every promise twisted | As the beast began to climb. | [Pre-Chorus] We saw the warning in your eyes, | You claimed the dark was wise. | Every rational voice grows thin; | And the reckoning begins. | [Chorus] When you crown a wolf, the flock will bleed; | The cost is written in the need. | He guards the power, not the flock; | He breaks the gates he swore to lock. | You fed the hunger, paid the price; | Now truth is frozen under ice. | When you crown a wolf, the flock will fall; | He only ever serves himself at all. | [Verse 2] You said a predator could guide us, | Said the teeth were just a phase. | Every step he takes is hunger, | Bloated from his plundered ways | You built a kingdom on denial, | Built a future on a lie. | Now the wolves circle above us | While the shepherds hide. | [Pre-Chorus] We saw the warning in your eyes, | You claimed the dark was wise. | Every rational voice grows thin; | And the reckoning begins. | [Chorus] When you crown a wolf, the flock will bleed; | The cost is written in the need. | He guards the power, not the flock; | He breaks the gates he swore to lock. | You fed the hunger, paid the price; | Now truth is frozen under ice. | When you crown a wolf, the flock will fall; | He only ever serves himself at all. | [Bridge] You thought the fangs could carry hope; | You thought the howl could make you whole. | Every promise fed the jaws, | Every fear became his goal. | The night grows sharp, dark, and deep; | Who shields the shepherd from the beast? | [Breakdown] He never learned to heal or lead; | He only learned to feed. | HE ONLY LEARNED TO FEED! | [Final Chorus] When you crown a wolf, the flock will bleed; | The warning echoes in the creed. | He guards the power, not the flock; | He cracks the bones beneath the rock. | You fed the hunger, paid the price; | The truth awakens, cutting twice. | When you crown a wolf, the flock will fall; | He only ever serves himself at all. | [Outro] Hunger grips the throne tonight; | The flock is scattered, void of light. | No shepherd dares to raise a hand; | The wolf commands the ruined land. | When darkness falls and silence reigns, | The wolf will feast; none shall remain. |
