The Cult - The Wolf

Black hearts and devils in the night
Mean streets raised me up to fight
I'm a lover but I've been known quick to strike
You think you know me, oh, but you're never right

Don't be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I've been consumed by the trials
These wicked teeth that hold my name, that hold my name, that hold my name

Pages burn, I watch the words ignite
And my heart feels beyond this strife
Look into the black jaws of the night
Take back what I lost and

I give my heart to the heavens
I give my heart to the light
Yeah, to the light

Don't be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I've been consumed by the trials
These wicked teeth that hold my name, that hold my name, that hold my name

When the barbarians approach on the frontiers of a civilization,
it is a sign of a crisis in that civilization.
When the barbarians come, not with weapons of war, but
with songs and icons of peace.
It is a sign of the crisis in one of a spiritual nature.
That a spiritual nature.
We have forgotten our spiritual nature.
Cause we are wrapped up in too much shit all day, all night.

The siren's call
A lost innocence
Her hidden scars
She feels it deeper than all
Mysterious promises whispered
Her smoldering words
A song from a golden bird

Embrace the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the hour of heaven

The storm of love
Where beauty can thrive
Reject the beast
With his snarling teeth
Into the soil soon we will go
Give up the ghost
These stolen whispered words

Embrace the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the hour of heaven

Search the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the outer heavens
