It seems the wolf has returned
Howl it out and see who turns
You gnash your teeth and fall in line
When you blink, he’ll rob you blind
Mark your tracks. When you are gone…
Move by night. Asleep by dawn
It’s all the signs that multiply… all the risks
For them, it’s do or die.
Yeah...they don’t know why
The truth, they will hide
Yeah… he lets out a cry
Yet his eyes remain dry
“Oh no...!” He barks out at the crowd
You can’t tell them apart
Meanwhile, the wolf walks away and smiles
Oooo... the wolf dances on make believe
He screams out, taps out, ignores defeat
Is this who we sought to be?
It’s time to question his authority
It’s time to question all we see
Must be together for it to be
It seems the wolf has bestowed
Lines of debt he will not owe
To all of those who bought his lies
Turned your heads, ignored their crimes
The dreams of few ignore you too
Can’t accept their reasons why
It’s all the times he promised you
Only it was for him and not for you
Yeah… time to say bye
The truth you can’t deny
Yeah… flames lit up the sky
The wolf slips out of sight
Hell no, we cannot let this go
The wolf will return...
