Lock Up the Wolves lyrics

In the houses of the holy

To the middle of the mystic sea

At the cradle of the world

There's a black cat screaming

And it's not even midnight, no

At the cradle of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now there's a cloud over heaven

And a pain out of paradise

In your corner of the world

Turn your back on the children

Does it feel like it's colder

In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves

Don't you let them get away

Lock up the wolves before you play

Or it's over

Lock up the wolves

Now don't you let them get away

Don't let them get away

There's no back door to heaven

Just a front door to hell

In this corner of the world

Now if you turn your back on the children

Well, you'll feel it getting colder

In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves, yeah

Lock up the wolves, lock them up
