Urthboy, HANDSOME, Solo - Wolves at Bay lyrics

Why'd you do it
Went ahead when there's no one
To guide you through it
Like nothing to it, the present danger
You mighta knew it
Either way you're walking right into it
Like you're invited to it was it worth it?
Trying to throw the tide back at the
Ocean like maybe you could divert it
But maybe it's already certain?
And they're saying that it's
A lost cause Jack, you should draw curtains
The sacrifice, that you offered up
Followed through and coughed it up
They want to knock you out
They want to lock you up
Did you ever think twice?
Cause if it's economic or not
Everyone has their price
And the toll that it took
From rolling the dice
And dedicating your whole life
To getting integrity right
From the bush to the bright lights
And the building sights
On the frontline gathering to fight

There was no hesitation
No thought of being brave
Just a certain elation
Keeping the wolves at bay
Keeping the wolves at bay
Won't let the light go out in me
Can't let the light go out in me
Can't let the light go out in me
Won't let the light go out in me

Why'd you stick your neck out
Enough to get it cut off
You could've gone under the radar
And then caught the run-off
The lifestyle will rub off
The perks of the plum job
But then you never sold your people out
For the pay of some boss
The young city that wants to be a metropolis
All of these apartments, skyscrapers, offices
Acquiring of properties
Driving out the poverty
Askin was the premier and
Everywhere he's pocketing
Nobody was stopping 'em
They never gave a second thought
To what they were demolishing
If they got fined
It wasn't what the profit is
They say couldn't stop progress
Money, power and politics and
The cause seems hopeless
But, if progress at any cost is this
When people are steamrolled and pushed out
Like they cease to exist
Well, what kind of process is this
It was time for the ground beneath to shift

Danger all around us
Time to stand up and be counted
Till we number in the thousands
Time to take back what's
Ours from these cowards
Corrupted by their power in
Their ivory towers so we making no allowance
For the greatness of the labour or
The lateness of the hour
Time to take back what's ours, never cower
In the belly of the beast where
Still the weak get devoured but

There was no hesitation
No thought of being brave
Just a certain elation
Keeping the wolves at bay
Keeping the wolves at bay
Won't let the light go out in me
Can't let the light go out in me
Can't let the light go out in me
Won't let the light go out in me

I've faced the menace, I've seen it's teeth
Casting it's shadow
Can't let the light go out in me
Let the light, let the light in me
Won't let the light go out in me
Let the light, let the light in me
Won't let the light go out in me
