Best friend mine

Quite soon you may die

But I’ll be close behind

I’ll follow you into the dark

I once hoped

To stuff goat meat down my throat

But now I prefer the goat

On this mountain pass so stark

If your herd and my pack

Say that they don’t want us back

Consign us to our fates

And abandon our track

And if the cold wind’s chill

Should extinguish your spark

Then I will follow you into the dark.

Hunger’s pull

Around which our lives revolve

Vicious as goats and wolves

But it can’t be denied

Through endless wars

‘Tween your mountain and my gorge

Our friendship was hard to forge

But I’m in it for the ride

If your herd and my pack

Say that they don’t want us back

Consign us to the cold

And abandon our track

And if this blizzard’s bite

Proves as harsh as its bark

Then I will follow you into the dark.

“Live,” you say

“Eat me and walk away”

But I just can’t do it, Mei

There’s some things you can’t pretend

Since our shared fright

When we met one stormy night

Everything’s felt so right

I can’t forget that you’re my friend

I howl to the moon—!

If your herd and my pack

Say that they don’t want us back

Consign us to the snow

And abandon our track

If I’m still here beside you

When your soul embarks

Then I will follow you into the dark.

Yes, I’ll follow you into the dark.
