This song makes me remember a part in the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card, (I believe it's Xenocide or Children of the Mind), where a character is told the story of a man and the wolf he kept as a dog.
Apparently, the wife told her husband that the dog was not a dog, but a wild wolf no matter how tamed it may seem. The husband told the wife that the wolf was the most loyal pet he had ever seen and he let it do what all dogs do, including sleep in their bed.
One day, the husband took the wolf for a private plane ride and the plane crashed. The husband was mortally wounded, his guts hanging out and the wolf started to eat his insides. The man was not angry, but happy saying these words as he looked into the wolf's eyes:
"I am so very happy that at least one of us will survive instead of both of us dying. You are truly a worthy pet."
That story, like I said, reminds me of this song. That the wolf is disguising as a dog and waiting for the time that he can take advantage of the person who thinks they own him. Since the wolf can't take out the person on his own for various reasons, he has to bide the lion to come and do the job for him.
Aesop's tale comes into play because the lion gets first dibs in both the fable and the song, with the wolf only getting what's left over in the song. What is devoured can be anything really, but we must know something: The wolf betrayed someone's trust.
I think that Dustin made the song ever expanding, so it could be about anything, but it teaches us a lesson: That we should beware of those enemies that play as friends more than those that are obviously enemies.
