I Left The Wolves Behind That Night

I walked into a foreign town

A land long left behind

I sat beside an acacia tree

And a fountain of red wine

A blind old man with a bible in his hand

Struggling through the sand

A poor boy dressed in rags in tow

He leads him by the hand

And I left the wolves behind that night

I left them where they fell

I slay them one by one that night

Beneath the old cathedral bell

I sang, la da da, la da da

The old man took me by the hand

And he led me to the well

I said, I am not a killer or a thief

But there are other pathways to Hell

He said, worry not about what has passed

And live without regret

Think only of the moment now

You can sleep friend, when you’re dead

And I left the wolves behind that night

I left them where they fell

I slay them one by one that night

Beneath the old cathedral bell

I sang, la da da, la da da
