Lone Wolf

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came up from the pinewood road
Black coat, steel in the cold
Old code carved in my chest
I bow, then I do my best
If the wolves circle up at your gate
I ride in the dark, I don't wait
Little hands need a safer dawn
So I keep my blade sharp, keep it on

Pre-Chorus
I don't kneel for fear
I don't fold for pain
I took that vow
Like a prayer in rain

Chorus
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I stand for the young ones (stand for the young ones)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I won't let harm come undone
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
For the women, for the children (for the women, for the children)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
Till the night gets finished

Verse 2
Seen too many broken porch lights
Seen too many tears by moonlight
Men with rot behind their grin
Trying to drag the pure to sin
Not on my watch, not tonight
I put my name on the line
If the storm wants blood, let it come
I'll be the wall, I'll be the one

Pre-Chorus
I don't kneel for fear
I don't fold for pain
I took that vow
Like a prayer in rain

Chorus
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I stand for the young ones (stand for the young ones)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I won't let harm come undone
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
For the women, for the children (for the women, for the children)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
Till the night gets finished

Bridge
Lay your burden down
Behind my back
If the world goes cruel
I take the attack
No crown, no praise
Just a weathered spine
I was made for this
And this life is mine

Final Chorus
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I stand for the young ones (stand for the young ones)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
I won't let harm come undone
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
For the women, for the children (for the women, for the children)
Honor in the dust (honor in the dust)
Till the night gets finished
