DOG WIZARD

Words and tune byZan

There are vows that must be taken, there are rules you must obey
If the sacred lore of magic you would learn.
And if you will not accept them, we will send you on your way
In the knowledge that you never can return.

CHORUS
Dog wizard, run with the pack or find your own fate alone
Dog wizard, never look back, it's forever too late
To change the dice you've thrown,
Dog wizard, run.

If you break the vows we ask of you, if you spurn the gift we give,
We will make your treason known to one and all.
No lord will give you shelter, no land will let you live,
You will scramble for the scraps that we let fall.

CHORUS

And if we come to seek you, needing someone we can blame,
Or help with things we're not allowed to know,
Don't believe that coming quietly will give a dog a better name,
Just be thankful if we deign to let you go.

CHORUS
Dog wizard, run...
Dog wizard, run...
Run, dog, run...
Why don't you run...
Hark hark, the dogs do bark,
The wizards are leaving the town.
Some in rags and some in Jags,
Going to where they can't be found.
I met a visionary man
I asked him where the wizards ran
The only thing that he would say
Was "Over the hills and far away"
Running dogs, running on empty,
Running dogs, running for home.
Look for them, you'll find them soon,
East of the sun and west of the moon
Running dogs with silver collars
Running dogs with wounded eyes
When the dogs have all stopped running
Who are the fools and who are the wise?

Dog wizard, run!
