Wolves lyrics

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 don't go,

a place that 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 I am ready to explode

like a tiger in a circus.

Cracking whips are all I know,

I'm searching for a sense of purpose."

We are the wolves at the gate,

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 dam,

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 gate,

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.

You can't fight us all, no,

and we are not going away.

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!
