Wolves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light up the torches
And wake up the King
The smoke you've ignored
Is a flame you can't contain
We circle the walls
And claw at the dirt
We growl from our guts
And howl until it hurts
I told her: Come with me
And I can take you from this place now
Somewhere these roads all go
A place so we can start again
I grabbed her hand and pulled her close
She looked at me and said
Hey I don't even know your name
But are you ready to explode?
Like a tiger in a circus?
Cracking whips are all I know
And searching for a sense of purpose
We are the wolves at the gates
Our numbers growing every day, yeah
But you can't fight us all no
No, you can't fight
We are the wolves at the wall
We break in like a waterfall, yeah
But you can't fight us all no
No you can't fight
The water is breaching
The walls of the damned
Trampling dreams
In a rush to higher land
Are you ready to explode
Like a tiger in a circus?
This cage is all I've ever known
But now you've given me a purpose
We are the wolves at the gates
Our numbers growing every day, yeah
But you can't fight us all no
No, you can't fight
We are the wolves at the wall
We break in like a waterfall, yeah
But you can't fight us all no
We are the
We are!
Roaming in numbers
And chasing the scent
Circling in for the kill
And you are the winter
The long discontent
We won't stop till we've had our fill
(We are the wolves)
Roaming in numbers
And chasing the scent
(We are the wolves)
Circling in for the kill
(We are the wolves)
And you are the winter
The long discontent
(We are the wolves)
We won't stop till we've had our fill
We are the wolves!
We are the wolves!
We are the wolves!
