I Left the Wolves Behind That Night Lyrics

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
