Wolf and Jackal Songtext
von shuNai

Worth the price?

Worked hard, climbed high
Thought I knew the game
Built my world from scratch
Whispered my own name
Then I gathered wolves
Hungry and so bold
Said, ′We're family now
Stories to be told
Built a little kingdom
On trust and risky bets
Chasing phantom fortunes
Forgetting old regrets

My family, my empire
Built on shifting sand
Thought I was the king
Now I hold out my hand


The money flowed in
The empire would rise
But shadows started growing
Behind their smiling eyes
Wolves and those who funded in the dusk
Their whispers grew loud
Lost in the hustle, lost in the crowd
I built this for us!
Thought we were a team
But some saw my trust
As a vulnerability
It would seem

My family, my empire
Built on shifting sand
Thought I was the king
Now I hold out my hand

The wolves they circled
I thought I was the pack leader
Bold and strong
But then the ground gave way
And the ones I kept close
Oh, where did I go wrong?
The jackals jumped, the pack
They tore me down, I swear
My trusted few, they watched me fall
With empty, hungry stare
They picked the bones of what I built
With cold and grasping hands
My family turned to dust and greed
Scattering on the sands


No, it wasn′t worth it
Not this price, not this end
Just a lesson learned, a painful, bitter blend
The empire crumbled
The family turned to dust
All that's left is silence
And the ghost of misplaced trust
And the ghost of misplaced trust

Just quiet roads now
And the echoes in my head
All the spoils they gathered
Was it worth it, little jackals?
Just
What it is
What it is
What it is
What it is
