The Wolves Lyrics

Raised my eyes from another dream,
Escaped visions of awful things,
I'd watched the oceans claim the streets.

But as I pierced the veil of sleep,
Crawled through the tear,
I found wolves!
Waiting patiently.

I don't know if i'm leading the pack,
Or back marking every step,
But it doesn't matter yet-
Not 'till I click my heels on your hearth,
You wait until it gets dark,
To return into my arms.

(Return to my arms)

"Get down! 'Cause here we are,"
I wiped the marrow from their jaws,
"Best behavior, lads!" (I said)
"She'll not be your dinner scraps-"
But I still had to fight them back,
Saliva curling down their teeth,
So eager to attack.

Well I don't know if i'm leading the pack,
Or back marking every step,
But it doesn't matter yet-
Not 'till I trace the shape of your heart,
You wait until it gets dark,
To return into my arms.

(Return to my arms)

You place your hand on the rail,
To descend the iron stairs,
Moonlight shimmers through your hair.
Closer still, you'll soon be mine.
I can see, the fire in your eyes.
Oh, come out tonight.
Come out, come out tonight.
