Johnny Flynn - Howl lyrics
[Johnny Flynn - Howl lyrics]
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 time to know
The rest will soon follow
All 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 or left; there's a few
Who are choking on what and
The will to hold on
With their principles pinned to
The courts of 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 check
And to meet my accountant
Oh, me and the wolf who was eating my heart
And me and my friends, who laugh in the dark
Oh, and you and yours too
And you and 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
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 time to know
The rest will soon follow
All 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 or left; there's a few
Who are choking on what and
The will to hold on
With their principles pinned to
The courts of 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 check
And to meet my accountant
Oh, me and the wolf who was eating my heart
And me and my friends, who laugh in the dark
Oh, and you and yours too
And you and 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
