Cotton Strands Lyrics - Wolf People

Ten fierce soldiers 

Marched through the driving rain 

Hearts set on bloody vengeance 

Without a face or name 

They had poison on their breath 

Saw him walking 

Encircled him like prey 

Left him in oil, and blood, and tears 

Till darkness turned to day 

Does this satisfy your hunger then, my friends? 

Over and over 

The thread never unwinds 

Multi-colored cotton strands 

Are looped and intertwined 

What kind of answer did you expect to find? 

Early woken 

By voices in the wire 

Body broken 

The pieces in the fire 

And you tend the embers still
