He'll Fight

The hounds are snapping at your heels,
And scream in your face.
Your mother defends you, but it's too late.
And they have your back against the wall.

When the jury saw this warrior in broken armour,
He found a frightened daughter.
Now rest, O darling rest, you're not alone now,
He'll fight the wolves for you.

The Courtroom scoffs and sneers,
And hurl their stones.
Bound by a guilty plea,
But the last word lies with he who believes in you.
And they have your back against the wall.

He'll fight the wolves for you

Rest, rest, rest, darling
