Hermitude - Wolves at Bay lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Hook: Urthboy & Caitlin Park] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 2: Solo] 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 [Hook: Urthboy & Caitlin Park] 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 [Post-Hook: Caitlin Park] I've faced the menace, I've seen its teeth Casting its 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
