Wolves Songtext

von Jamie's Elsewhere

Oh, how I've wronged you, my love
It's come to another night
Filled with cold sweats
Lucid dreams in restless sleep

And woe is me, woe is me
For I've defanged the only wolves
That were ever on my side

I hear her voice saying, "Leave it behind"

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams
That were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only
As flat as we've made it out to be

And when the day breaks
The sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies
That become us
And there is nothing I need more

Take aside, tear apart
Conglomerate, make new
Take aside, tear apart
Conglomerate, make new

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams
That were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only
As flat as we've made it out to be

And when the day breaks
The sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies
That become us
And there is nothing I need more

What is a wolf truly worth
Without its fangs?
Who's hunted down by children
With sticks and crooked blades

And turned into a story
And a token for the few
That it slayed before it lost
The only weapons that it knew?

I left behind every trace of a coward
And moved towards the dreams
That were born of our fathers
Who told us the world was only
As flat as we've made it out to be

And when the day breaks
The sun will transform us
Into something more than the lies
That become us
And there is nothing I need more

Oh, how I've wronged you, my love
It's come to another night
Filled with cold sweats
Lucid dreams in restless sleep
