Rest Now, Little Wolf (A Vigil for Aria, or, How the Lamb Stood in an Empty Room Filled with Empty Friends) Lyrics

Rest now, little Wolf Love has not vanished From the world Just yet Tender truth Can be bestowed Unto those Who know your song — Yes We tread a fine weave of gray Yet many perish to the blade's doubled edge Conceal not your mistakes But allow them to be a sputtering torch Illuminate the path for those that follow To be gentle, to be kind This is the way — Like the dust That settles all around us The wind will carry Whispers of spring Beauty fades And everything will end So make few your enemies And cherish making friends 'Cuz life is it too short to succumb To the sinister call — Than the sun Reflecting off our pillow Our wicked tale A pasture beside the willows And I know that you're still me So listen when I say To love being alive Is never a mistake 'Cuz Winter will end just the same No Matter What — So there I was So there I was So there I was So there I was [Wolf howls]
