urthboy - wolves at bay lyrics

[verse 1: urthboy]
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

[chorus: 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: urthboy]
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, skyscr-pers, offices
acquiring of properties, driving out the poverty
askin was the premier and everywhere he’s pocketing
n0body 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

[post-chorus: caitlin park]
i’ve faced the menace, i’ve seen its t–th
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
