Howl

Howl for my homeland Wherever that was And howl for the homage That's been gone and lost To the passing and temporal The eons gone by There's nothing to praise Not in earth, sea or sky All was holy has been shot And in flying too low The rest will soon follow Oh, the rest will soon go Stay in the light, Joe Stay with yourself Put up a fight Don't rest on the shelf Growl at the pedestal Growl at the pinch The last of the ports Has broken the winch Oh the legacy is gone And the people who knew Have lost their minds Oh left, there's a few Who are choking on what And the will to hold on With their principles pinned To the courts up above Stay in the light, Joe Stay with yourself Put up a fight Don't rest on the shelf Me and the teardrop Me and the mountain Oh me and the cheque And to meet my accountant Oh me and the wolf Who has eaten my heart And me and my friends Who laugh in the dark Oh and you and yours two And you are yours three And you and yours ever And ever be free Stay in the light, Joe Stay with yourself Put up a fight Don't rest on the shelf --- Howl - Johnny Flynn
